London, August I5.-The Mad.
rid correspondent of the Daily Mail
says:
"The comments of the press on
the protocol are veritable funeral
hymn on the destruction of the
Spanish colonial empire. Some days
ago the desire for peace made the
people close their eyes to the price,
but now, upon reading the proto-
col, they realize that the cost is the
loss of that empire which Spain
had conquered with so much glory
and that Spain now falls to the
second rank among nations. The
public mind is stunned and
there is general mourning.
General Blanche telegraphs that
Havana is greatly agitated by the
news of the signing of the protocol
and that much anxiety is mani
tested to learn the conditions, which
have not yet been published. Some
uneasiness is felt regarding the
effect that the text of the protocol
may have on the Spanish volun-
teers in Havana.
Many newspapers express grief
and despair that the men who
brought disaster on Spain by lack
of foresight, organization and
ability, should continue to govern
the country"

One of the most dastardly crimes
of recent times was committed last
night at Alvy or Stringtown, this
county. The sequel is already rob
berry, and may result in an awful
murder. This morning telephone
message from that place says that
three masked men entered the house
of Peter Horner and robbed him of
$3.50. They gained entrance to the
house by battering down the door
with a rail. After entering the
house they beat Mr.. and Mrs.
Horner and their daughter, who
was sleeping in the same room, into
insensibility with the handle of
revolver. After their victims were
rendered unconscious by the blood
thirsty villains they proceeded to
ransack the house. After finding
nothing of value which they cared
to take except the trunk which
contained the money, they left the
house carrying the trunk to a near
by grove, where it was broken
open and $3.50 in cash and other
valuatles taken. The other con.
tents of the trunk were left scat,
tered about on the ground.
Mr.. Horner conducts a hotel at
Stringtown, and three travelling
men were sleeping in the other end
of the building. They heard the
noise in the other end OF the house,
which was occupied by Mr.. Horner
and his family, but the thieves exc
cuted their plans SO quickly that
they had succeeded in getting away
befors the occupants of the build
ing were aware of what was going
on.
MRS. HORNER WILL DIE.
The injuries inflicted upon Mrs.
Horner will doubtless prove fatal.
She was dealt several bows across
the head, fracturing her skull, and
and her physicians claim that she
cannot live. At 10 o'clock this
morning she was still unconscious.
Miss. Horner was also beaten in
brutal manner but will recover.
Mr.. Horner's injuries are serious.
NO CLUE.
The fact that the parties who
committed the crime were masked
and entered the house in darkness
leaves no clue to their identity.
There Is but one theory left open
to the officers of the law, the parties
who entered the house were evi-
IDENTIFY familiar with the house and
must have known where the money
was kept.
This theory Is corroborated by
the fact that after beating the Hor.
ner family in a brutal manner they
took the trunk in which the money
was concealed and carried it away.

For Teachers at the State Normal College
mt Troy Closes n Successful Term.
The State Normal College at Troy
has Just closed the eleventh and most
successful years work in the teachers
training department for Alabama
schools, and the Peabody School OF
Pedagogy, which was associated with
the school during its closing months,
showed very supef1~sEsshp indeed.
Teachers were enrolled from forty-two
Alabama counties and from five other
states. The entire enrolment during
the year shows above fifty five coun-
ties of Alabama and twenty-five states
as represented in the studentship, in
cluding extension course enrolment.
DIR. J. G. Harris and Prof. J. B. Gun
ningham, president Of the Alabama
Educational Association, and others,
ably assisted DR.. Eldridge and his fac
ulty of twenty teachers in the School
of Pedagogy. The board authorized
twenty-six graduations, and State SUI
perintendent Turner granted these
state certificates to teach. This col
lege has brighter prospects than ever
before.

The taking of Moro Castle was es.
sential to the capture of Cervera's
ships, and Cervera's ships muot be
taken to prevent the serious execution
Of which their guns are capable.
Therefore the purpose of the first
days fight was to drive the Spaniards
mt the western end of the Aguadores
bridge over the San Juan back to the
harbor, and to capture Moro Castle.
Thus the mere taking of the city OF
Santiago was the secondary considera-
ton.
General Kent, after driving the
Spaniards off the bluff west of the San
Juan's mouth, followed them to the
strongly fortified heights southeast OF
the city. In his charge on the heighst
he was supported by Wheeler, moving
almost directly west, and by General
Lawton, who abandoned his feint on
the northeast of Santiago.
Amid Rain of Shot and Shell.
AS the battle grew fiercer the boom
Of the siege guns and the rattle of
musketry with the quick reports of the
Maxim guns became incessant. The
Americans pressed forward steadily in
the face of a rain of shot and shell, the
latter bursting all about them. The
battle ragged throughout the torrid heat
of the afternoon and still the steady
onward pressure of the American forces
made itself felt and the Spaniards fell
back from outpost to outpost. The
volunteers fought side by side with the
regulars and braver companions no
seasoned veteran ever had The
humid, super heated, smoke-laden air
was rent time and again with their
cheers as the enemy fell back before
their irresistible onslaught and could
be heard above the deafening din of
the artillery.
Enemy Fell Back Rapidly.
Toward evening the enemy fell back
rapidly, human nature being unable to
stand the strain and the whitening fire
from our guns. With the setting OF
the sun hostilities gradually ceased,
both sides being content to rest from
their unceasing labor of nearly ten
hours. Skaters outposts are within
mile of Santiago. The troops are
tired, but enthusiastic over the days
work and eager to resume the fray
Saturday.
The loss in killed and wounded has
not vet been estimated, but will scarcely
exceed 500. Most of the bodies brought
to the rear were those of wounded and
the killed outright will not form a large
total. It is understood as this dispatch
leaves the American lines, that the fire
of the squadron on Moro and the
shore Notifications has done terrific
damage.

STATE NORMAL COLLEGE,
Valuable Information rs Pre- 'ented in An

Valuable Information rs Pre- ,ented in An
nounccments of this Institute.
The college has two plans of instruc-
ton: Attendance" that best suited
to young people lacking both scholar
ship and professional training and ex-
perience; Extension" or in absentia,
largely, adapted to those who have age,
experience and more or less scholar
ship. Tuition is $500 per term and
lncldentals same-ten weeks a term.
Alabama students taking the obligation
to teach pay no tuition, but incidentals
merely. A nomination may be made
by each senator and representative OF
the Alabama legislature, outside of the
county in which the college is situated
and outside of each county having a
state educational institution for whites,
to scholarship granting special al
yantages, and said nomination approved
by the county superintendent of educa-
ton of the proper county, may be ap-
pointed by the state superintendent OF
education for two years, if he approves,
preference being given to such candi-
dates as appear to have the greatest
worth and qualification for teachers, as
indicated by the county superintend-
lents testimonial.
Board can be hau at 90 to $.1 per
month, or students can rent furnished
or unfinished rooms and board them
selves much less per month.
Good literary society and young peo.
ple's Christian association advantages
are offered. The president has many
scores of calls for trained teachers an
nually and graduates of the college
easily find situations. Young men
capable to act as superintendent and
principals of schools, and young ladies
who can teach art o. music and
scholastics, too, are in great demand,
by school officers asking for teachers.
Scores of our students are thus located
annually. Address E. r. Eldridge,
President, Troy. Ala.
