MADRID wrrrs AND walls.


The comments Of the press on the
protocol are 9 veritable funeral hymn
on the destruction Of the Spanish colo
nial empire. Some days ago the desire
for peace made the people close their
eyes to the price, bot now, upon read
ing the protocol, 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 pub
lie mind is stunned and there is general
mourning.
General Blanco ~telegrAphs that
Havana is greatly agitsted BY the news
Of the signing OF the protocol, and
that much anxiety is mAsszsted to
learn the conditions, which have not
yet been published. Some unsasiness
Is felt regarding the effect that the text
Of the protocol may have on the
Spanish volunteers IN Havana. Many
newspapers express grief and despair
that the men who brought disaster on
Spain BY lack Of foresight, organira-
ton and ability, should continue to
govern the country.
Public opinion attaches great i'm
portance to the Spanish commission in
PARIS making a resolute stand In de-
tense Of SPANS territorial rights Ia the
Philippines. The government, there
fore, wants 10 send a strong. compe-
tent body Of delegates.
Fl Pals prints the text Of the pro-
tocol signed BY the United States and
Spain, with mourning borders, and
says: "Spain without colonies Is re-
duced TO the role Of q third rate
power"

L. $. Department Of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin Of the
weAihzs Bureau. Missouri Section, for
the week ending August Is, 1855;
The weather has continued cool
throughout the state, with little or DO
ram since the Sth, except in a few
localities. where moderately heavy
rains fell on the 18th, but good showers
fell ia mos, Of the southern and many
Of the centrsl and northern counties on
The 7th, and there is generally sufficient
moisture for present needs. In = few
localities the rains Of the 9Th were very
heavy, causing seme damags BY over
iowing streams. Although the cool
nights have been rather u~nfAvorable,
sOrn continues to make good growth
and much Of the early planted is now
well past the roasting ear stage and
practically made, while nearly all Of
the late corn Is in iASsel and some is in
roasting ear. With favorable condi-
tons from now on the bulk OF the crop
in the southern sections will be safe
from frost BY September 18th To Goth,
and IN the northern sections By October
Isl. In the latter sections, however,
there is considerable late corn that can
hardly mature before frost. In most
counties sosih Of the Missouri river
corn promises an average crop, and in
many there viii be more than an
average. In the northern sections q
good average yield is expected in some
counties, while in others the crop viii
be light. Special reports regarding
late potatoes Indicate that while = good
yield Is promised in many counties,
the crop on the whole will be below
the average, owing, IN some sections,
to too much moisture, and in others 10
drOuih Or bugs. Flowing for wheat
has progressed well during the week,
except in q few northern and western
counties, where the ground Is reported
too hard. In some sections the work
Is well advanced. Tobacco is doing
well and some viii soon be ready to
cut. Turnips are up and look well.
and some fall rye has been sOwn
the week. Pastures continue
good. Grapes are still rOtting badly.
There Is some complaint that grain in
stack is In Bad condition, owing to the
recent heavy rains, and some that B
still i. shock in the fields is rotting.
