LONDON, August l5,-The Madrid
correspondent OF the Daily Mail says:
"The comments Of the 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 their eyes
70 the price, but now, upon reading the
protocol, they realize that the cost is
the loss OF that empire which Spain had
conquered with 80 much glory and that
Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned and there Is general mourning.
General Blanco teleEraphs that Ha-
vana Is greatly agitated by the news of
the signing of the protocol. and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn the
conditions, which have not yet been
published. Some uneasIness is felt re-
gardlng the eject that the text of the
protocol may have on the Spanish vol
unteers in Havana
MANY newspapers express grief and
despair that the men who brought dis
aster on Spain by lack of foresight orr
ganisation and ability. should continue
to govern the country"

GOV. ATK1HsoN's VIEWS

on the ProtOoOi-Ths Only Danger That
Ito can see.
Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. Aug. A.
Yesterday evening Governor Atkinson
gave your correspondent the following
signed statement as his opinion Of the.
protocol:
'Under the circumstances regard ihS
conditions OF pence in the war with
Spain as reasonably fair to both govs
ernments concerned In the controversy.
The only danger 1 soc in the settlement
IS the possibility of the commissioners
allowing Spain to continue her unjust
tyranicai rule over the Philippine Is
lands, which in the adjustment she may
be allowed to retain.
The war would be, at best, a partial
failure unless the inhabitants Of those
islands are guaranteed better and
more liberal form of government than
Spain has hitherto given them. This
important matter, think, however, can
properly be trusted to the commission

What the Papers of AIsKioS Think Of
Our West indian ConqusEtS.
CITY OF MEXICO, August 1.-THE
press comments variously on the terms
of peace between the United States and
Spain.
The, Mexican Herald says; Spain
may thank the short-sightedness OF her
statesmen for the loss of Porto Rico.
The Cuban question might have been
settled long ago, as some Spaniards
wanted It settled, by selling the island
to the American government. Before
the American people lies the .perpleXlnB
Cuban question. The land will have to
be held as England holds Egypt and, In
our opinion, It Is extremely likely ever
to enjoy absolute Independence. Per-
haps It is not desirable"
L'National, moderate Liberal paper,
says the war waged in Cuba by the
Americans has not been a savage and
barbarous struggle but as civilized as
far as war can be civilized. ut will not
do in the future to disdaln the Ameri-
can army. He who does so will show
that he Is unable to profit by the lessons
Of history"
Fl TIempo, the organ OF the clerical
and reactionary party, ana oppussu =!
the government, says: THE protocol
makes no mention OF the enormous pc
cunInry indemnity which 1t was said the
Yankees intended to demand OF Spain.
Will they. with their accustomed bad
faith, hold thnt question in reserve to
bring It mp at Paris at the last moment
and obtain by that means further ad-
vantages? This might happen. and It
would not surprise US II II did. We can
not entef into further comments on the
fatal announcement for we are over
whelmed with the reflection in which
Mexico and her future appears to our
Imagination In so sad a light that we
cannot put our thoughts into order"

A strenuous effort is being made
by the officers and men of the
First Louisiana to keep the regi-
ment in the service and permit it
to go to Cuba with General Fitz-
hugh Lee. Major General Keifer
and Brigader General Wheaton
have telegraph Adjutant General
Corbin urging that the order mus
tering out the regiment be revok-
ed and it be retained as q part of
the seventh corps. The fact can
not be disputed that q great many
men Of the regiment, now that the
war is over, desire 10 return to their
homes and their wishes should
be consulted. Colonel Stevens
has wired Governor Foster reques-
ting him to recommend the rein
statement Of the regiment, permit
ting all the men who desire to re-
turn to their homes. This seems
to be q fair as we'll as a very salts
factory proposition. If it be true,
as stated by Colonel Stevens, that
60 per cent of the men wish to go
to Cuba, then let them go and the
other 40 per cent come back to
their families and their business.
The regiment, it is claimed, can
be recruited to it's full strength by
transfers from commands now be-
ing mustered ont at Jacksonville.
Governor Foster will no doubt re-
ply to-day to the telegram of Col
cnel Stevens, and whether the
First Louisiana is mustered out or
remains in the service will depend
upon the nature of his answer
