MR DISPLSP.SED Madrid Papers Make Un ramble Coniine, B. LURKING ORDERS Governors General Have Ceas ed Hostilities. Madrid August 15.—The com ments of tire press on the protocol are a veritable funeral hymn on the destruction of the Spanish colonial empire. Some days ago the desire for peace made the people close th>i eyes to the price, but now upon reading the protocol, they realize that the cost is the loss of that empire which Spain had conquer ed with so much glory and that Spain now falls to tne second rank among nations. The public mind is stunned and there is general mourning* General Blanco telegraphs that Havant is greatly agitated by the news of the signing of the proto col and that much anxiietv is . manifested to learn the conditions which have not yet been published. Some uneasiness is f It regard ing the effect that the text of the protocol may have ot. the Spanish volunteers in Havana. Many n“ws papert express g ief and desp iir that the men who brought disaster on Slain by lack of foresigh’, o - - ganization and am lily, should con tinue to govern the country. The governors general of Cuba and Porto Rico have acknowledged the receipt of the news of the sus pension of hostilities between the United States and Spain and an nounced the carrying out of the orders. An order has been issued by the captain general of Madrid suspend ing the publication of the repub lican newspaper Ei Pais. Reports from Havana that that the bombardment of Manzanillo lasted from 3 o’clock until 9 in the evening and that attacks were made by the insurgents at various points. During the engagements fifteen Spaniards were killed. The Ameri can commander summoned the town to surrender, giving the aut horities three hours in which to capitulate El Epoca says: “The peace is the saddest impos ed since the treaty ot Utrecht, and expresses doubt “if a government which has allowed itself lobe drag ged into a war will acquit itself well by negotiating | eace.” El Pais today printed the text of the protocol signed by the Uni ted States and Spun with mourn ing borders, and says: “Spain without colonies is re duced to the rule of a third-rate power.” J*NI Imparcial says: “Peace will not bring to Spain even the rest she so much needs after three years and a half of war. ” El Nocion says bitterly: “If Spain had at least been van quished only after a furious and heroic struggle she could resign herself. Peace with the United States will only be a momentary respite fr >m our misfortune.” El Libera' says the artie'e in the protocol relating to the Philippines does not indicate that anything good for Spain will be fixed npot and the question will not be settle ed favorably for her. El Globo (ministerial) pines for peace betwsen Spain and the Uni ted States and says the communi cation on eastern ques’iotis which Day and Gambon have signed be gin the first Chapter in a new his tory of Europe. El Timipo (conservative) says: “Peace is an accomplished fact The bitterness of deieat does not prevent us from seeing with satis action the e*'d of th® war.” WANTED.—Two good clerks at once.
