SPAIN BOWED IN SORROW.
Realizes the Disaster War Has
Brought on Her.


London, Aug. 15.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says
''The comments of the press on the pro
tocol are veritable funeral hymn on the
destruction of the Spanish colonial en-
pire Some days ago the desire for peace
made the people close their eyes to the
price but now. upon reading the protocol,
they realize that the cost is the loss of
that empire which Spain had conquered
with so much glory, and that Spain row
falls to the second rank among nations
1.-THE public mind is stunned and there
is general mourning.
"Geh. Blanco telegraphs that Havana
is greatly agitated by the news of the
signing Of the protocol. and that much
anxiety Is manifested to learn the condi-
lions, which have not yet been published
Some uueasiness 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, organiza-
ton and ability, should continue to govern
the country"

enue cutter Morrill, which arrived from
the Matanzas station this morning, left
for Norfolk this afternoon. They VIII be

BRITISH PRESS OPINION.
Peace Brought on by the Utter Col
lapse of spnin's Navy.

London, Aug. 15.-The Times this morn
ing, in a special article reviewing the
operations of the Hispano-American war,
says: "The fact that the war was
brought to such a speedy end is due prlm-
arily to the single cause Of Spain's naval
collapse. The vigor shown by the Ameri-
can naval authorities and the high quail
ity of the naval ofiicers-qualitles Inherit
ed from the mother country-sufhced to
counteract the effects of Americas un-
readiness. The manner in which large
number of warshps and auxiliary vessels
were rapidly equipped and manned, to-
gether with the conspicuous ability with
which the great naval force, largely ex-
temporized, was supplied and handled, Is
extremely significant
rs is impossible to speak in the same
terms of the military measures. The causes
of the failure of the war department to
rise to the emergency are not yet fully
known. IL will be interesting to zee wheth-
er the American people demand an investi-
cation. Before Santiago. as before Sebas-
tapol, In the CTmean campaign, unneces-
sary sufferings and hardshps were infirt-
ed upon the troops. and in both cases dis
aster was averted by the gallantry of the
officers and men.
while It Is clear that the command of
the sea is more than ever important naval
bombardments OF coast defenses are less
effective than they were In Nelson's DAYS.
That they were recently attempted on a
considerable scale is probably due to the
desire TO give American gunners practice
rather than to any special prediction on
the part of the American officers"

will be ordered to ports in the states where
the men will be given brief holidays. The
big battleships of the fleet will be put in
dry dock as soon as possible and undergo
such repairs as may be necessary. There
is scarcely a vessel of the navy that does
not need docking. 1t is expected that the
large dock in the New York yard will be
ready to receive the ships in about two
weeks. The auxiliary vessels of the navy,
which will not be used for the permanent
navy, will be disposed of as soon as they
go out of commission, probably being sold
at auction.

Teaching.

One Of the greatest problems In
the educational world today, at least
for the teacher, is to know just how
much to do for the pupil. Mistakes
are made by going to both extremes.
One teacher acts as though the pupil
was nothing but a passive receptacle
to be filled by him and he takes the
greatest Of pleasure in filling it. In
him we have the talking teacher,
and he talks and talks. On the
other extreme we have the man or
the woman who acts as though the
child was to be helped none at all.
This class of teachers is we'll Illus
trated by the teacher who, when he
found that the new pupil ofsix years
old did not know even the first let,
ter of the alphabet, sent him to his
seat with the injunction to study his
lesson. There is golden meaning
between these two classes and hap
Ply is that teacher who finds it. He
or she is the successful teacher.
