A rriumph Of Modsrn surgery.

The reputation of the well known spe-
cislists, Drs. Sadler and Signann, SOi
Penn Ave. Pittsburg. Pa, is too well es-
tablished to need much comment The
thousands of deaf and blind people who
have been restored to hearing and sight
by these most eminent surgeons. are by
far the be [ recommendation of their
merits.
To the long list of marvellous operations
which have been performed in their
offices. new one is added through the
case of Mr.. Massey. 1O7 Third Street, S. s.,
Pittsburg Pa. His right eye-baIl was
pierced by a piece Of Steel in February
last. The wound healed after protract-
ed and painful period of recovery, butthe
vision was totally gone. which was partial
ly due to a cataract which developed in
the injured eye: partially also to infiam-

SPAIN DEEPLY GRIEvED.
The Madrid Newspapers in Mourning Over
the Loss Of the Colonial Possessions.

MADRID, Aug. 1.-THE governors gen
eral of Cuba and Porto Rico have ac-
knowledged the receipt 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 captain general of
Madrid suspending the publication of
the republican newspaper FL Pals.
FL Pals says: "rhe peace is the sad
dest imposed since the treaty of Utrecht"
and expressed doubt ''if government
which has allowed itself to be dragged
into war will acquit itself well by ne
gotiating peace"
Ell Pals prints to-day the text of the
protocol signed by the United States and
Spain with mourning borders and says
''Spain. without colonies, is reduced to
the role of third rate power"
FL impartial says: peace will not
bring to Spain even the rest she so much
needs after three years and a half of
war"
FL Naeional says bitterly: ''If Spain
had at least been vanquished Only after a
furious and heroic struggle, she could
resign herself Peace with the United
States will only be a momentary respite
from our misfortune"
FL Liberal says the article in the pro-
tocol relating to the Philippines does not
indicate that anything good for Spain
will be fixed upon, and the question viii
not be settled favorably for her
FL Globo tministerial) pines for peace
between Spain and the United States and
says the communications on eastern ques-
tions which Day and Cambon have signed
begin the first chapter in a new history
of Europe.
FL Tempo iConservstive) says: peace
is an accomplished fact. The bitterness
of defeat does not prevent us from seeing
with satisfaction the end of the war"
LosDoS, Aug. l5.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: "The
comments of the press on the protocol
are a veritable funeral hymn on the de-
struetiOn .fths Spanish colonial empire.
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 gen.
eral mourning. Gen. Blanco telegraphs
thst Havana is greatly agitated by the
news Of the signing of the protocol, and
that much anxiety is manifested to learn
the conditions. Some uneasiness is felt
regarding the effect that the text Of the
protocol may have on the Spanish volun-
teers in Havana. Many newspapers ex-
press grief and despair that the men who
brOug,t disaster on Spain by lack of fore
sight. organization and ability, should
continue to govern the country.
