SPAIN IS IN MOURNING
Peace Has Cost the Dons Their
Colonial Empire.
PUBLIC MIND Is STUNNED
Comments on the Protocol Read Like a
Funeral Hymn - Spain a Third
Rate Power-London Times
Praises Mckinley.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Madrid corre-
comments of the press on the protocol
are a 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 now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned and there is general mourning.
General Blanco telegraphs 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-
garding the effect 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 disaster TO Spain by lack
of foresight. organization and ability
should continue to govern the coun-
try"
The governor generals OF Cuba and
Porto Rico have acknowledged the re-
ceipt Of the news of the suspension of
hostilities between the United States
and Spain. and announced the carrying
out OF the orders.
An order has been issued by the cap
tain general of Madrid suspending the
publication of the republican newspa-
per FL Pals.
Reports from Havana state that the
bombardment of Manzanillo lasted from
3 O'Clock until 3 In the evening, and
that attacks were made by the insur-
gents at various points. During the
engagement Is Spaniards We're killed.
The American commander summoned
the town To surrender giving the au-
thorties three hours in which to cap
itulate.
El Epoca says: THE peace is the
saddest imposed since the treaty of
Utrecht" and expressed doubt IL a gov
ernment which allowed itself TO be
dragged into a war will acquit itself
well by negotiating peace.

cided to save time by appointing per-
sons on the spot.
Already some people are beginning
to console themselves with the idea that
the loss OF those two islands. though
most painful to Spanish national feel
ing. as concentrating the destruction
of the great Spanish empire In the west
ern hemisphere, is really not so serious
as is generally supposed.
lei Imparcial. for example. says:
After all. those who exploited the mar
kets of the Antilles were only some
manufacturers and merchants. In GER
tain regions Of the peninsula the exer-
else of sovereignty was utilized by poll
ticians to send their proteges as off,
cials to these Islands. The great mass
of the nation derived indirectly very lit
tie advantage and had TO bear the sacri-
fees necessary to maintain our domina-
tion'
ideas Of this kind. while by no means
confined to FL impartial or to the press
generally. show that. as have repeat
edly pointed out, the Spanish national
character contains much that Is medae-
val and romantic. with a strong ele-
ment of sound. practical common sense.
The Philippine question will be found
much more difficult OF solution, and al
ready, on one point all competent au-
thorities here seem agreed, namely, that
whatever solution may be adopted there
must be no joint sovereignty or joint
protectorate or anything of that kind.
An attempt to combine Spanish and
American methods of administration
would inevitably lead to disastrous COM
pliCations."

FIRED ON TRUCE FLAG.
Governor General Macias Won't Recog-
nize Cessation of HostiIities.

Headquarters of General Wilson ct
Coamo. Aug. 13. noon, delayed In
transmission).-The orders to advance
given General Ernst's brigade we-s
countermanded upon receipt OF the
presidents order to suspend hostil-
tiles.
General Wilson this morning sent a
party with flag OF truce to notify the
Spaniards OF the suspension of hos
tilities, but the flag was not respected.
This was by order of Governor General
Macias. As General Macias has no
communication with Madrid. he may
thus cut himself off from official notffi-
cation OF the situation, although ma
tives have been sent through the Span
ish lines to spread the news that a
cessation OF hostilities has been or
dered.
The soldiers of the American army
generally receive the news of peace
with delight, although some are l.s-
appointed that there is TO be no fur
ther fighting and many officers express
regret at the suspension OF hostilities
in the midst OF the campaign.

bring to Spain even the rest she so
much needs after three years and a
half of war"
FL Naccional says bitterly: IF Spain
had at least been vanquished only after
