THE PRESS COMMENTS SAD
Veritable Funeral Hymns on
the Loss of Cherished
Possessions.
FL Pals Prints. the Protocol
in Mourning and Is
Suspended.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Madrid cor.
respondent Of The Daily Mail says:
The comments of the press on the pro.
tocol are veritable funeral hymns ON
the destruction of the 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
has 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.
Many newspapers express great de.
spair that the men who brought disas-
ter on Spain by lack of foresight, or.
ganization and ability. should continue
to govern the country.

PONCE, Puerto Rico, Aug. l5.-The
peace news has stopped all forward
movement of the American army in
Porto Rico. General Wilson at Coamo
and General Schwan at Mayaguez
will remain at those places. General
Henry, who is at Utuado, will return
to Adjuntas, and General Brooke, who
had advanced beyond Guayama, will
return to that town.
General Miles expects to do nothing
pending the arrival at San Juan of the
peace commissioners.
The soldiers of the American army
generally receive the news with de.
light, although some are disappointed
that there is to be no further fighting,
and many officers express regret at the
suspension Of hostilities in the midst Of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Al the

eral Shafter will accompany them to
Montauk Point. There will remain at
Santiago five regiments of immunes to

about 10, 900 men in Porto Rico They

IN CUBA AND PORTO RICO
ramporary Military Control
Proposed for the Pres
ent, at Least.
VIII Be Given Every Encour-
agement to Become
AmeriCaniZed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-The admin.
isration is busy discussing the new
conditions resulting from the signing
Of the peace protocol. The president
bsleyes that the m ost serious problem
which the peace commission will be
called upon to deal with is the Philip
mines. Before the commission assem-.
bles it is hoped that affairs OF Cuba
and Porto Rico will be found in such
process of adjustment as to leave little
/ for the commission to consider under
that head. In fact the Philippines
will present the only difficult problem
/ in the peace negotiations and has
caused the administration to give it a
great deal Of careful consideration.
Several suggestions have been made as
to what shall be done-one being the
the retention of the
Bay, City and Harbor of Manila,
just what the protocol gives tenn.
porarily. Another is that Subig bay
and sufficient amount Of territory for
naval coaling station be secured and
the building up of an American city at
that place begun. Still another idea
which is being considered is the reten.
ton Of the island of Luzon, the advo-
Gates Of that plan believing that there
would be trouble between the govern.
ments which occupied portion of the
island with line of demarcation such
as would exist in case Manila and the
bay only were obtained. The island Of
Luzon is the largest of the group and
contains about 100000 people, which
are said to be the better class in the
Philippines. 1t is believed, however,
that the administration and the com.
mission will be greatly Influenced by
Reports of Dewey and Merritt
on the subject. Their reports are ex.
pected before the commission meets.
Ihe final determination as to the gov.
ernment of Porto Rico and Cuba are
problems for settlement, but the i'm.
preston prevails that these islands will
become quite rapidly Americanizsd,
and every encouragement for them to
90 SO will be given. Porto Rico
VIII be under military control for
the present. Cuba also will be
similarly governed but it is probable
snat American reforms in the matter

people OF Cuba will see the advantage
OF becoming annexed to the United
states. 1t is thought the sanitary i'm.
provement of Havana and other cities,

PIE Will be OF such character soon to
convince the people that the changed

FIGHTING NEAR COAMO.

Several of the Third Wisconsin Killed
and Wounded.
BEYOND CoAMo, Porto Rico, Aug. 10,
via St. Thomas, Aug. I5.-General
Wilson moved Lancaster's battery to
the front this afternoon for the purpose
of shelling the Spanish position on the
crest Of the mountain at the head of
the pass through which the road
winds. The enemy occupied position
Of great natural strength. protected by
seven lines of entrenchments and a
battery Of two howitzers. The Span
iards were eager for the fray and as
our battery rounded a curve in the
road 1000 yards away they opened an
artillery and infantry fire. Four com.
panies Of the Third Wisconsin, which
were posted on the bluffs to the right
Of the road, were not permitted to re.
spond to the infantry fire. The guns
advanced at gallop
In tho Face OF y Terrific Fire,
were unlimbered and were soon hurl.
ing shell and shrapnel at the enemy at
a lively rate, striking the emplace-
ments, batteries and .entrenchments
with the regularity of q trip hammer.
The enemy soon abandoned one gun
but continued to serve the other at in.
tervals for over an hour. They had
our range and their shrapnel burst re.
peatedly over our men. One shell
burst, the fragments killing Corporal
Swanson Of Company L, Third Wis.
consin, and seriously wounding Cor.
poral Yanke and Privates Bunce and
Vought. Captain Lee and Private
Siser Of Company T were wounded by
Mauser bullets. In about two hours
the enemy abandoned the other gun
and the men began to fee from the en-.
trenchments toward a banana grove in
the gorge. Our guns
shelled Them as They Ran.
One gun was now ordered to advance
to q position quarter Of mile fur.
ther on. It had just reached the new
position when Spanish infantry rein.
forcements fled into the trenches and
poured down a deadly fire upon our
men, compelling the battery to retreat
at gallop. Then both the enemy's
howitzers reopened and shrapnel
screamed and Mausers sang. Another
gun galloped from the rear, but our
ammunition was exhausted. Lieuten-
ant Haines, Fourth artillery, was shot
in the body by a Mauser just before his
gun retired. The orders issued for two
companies to advance were counter
manded and the firing soon ceased.
Colonel Bliss went forward with
flag of truce and explained that peace
negotiations were almost concluded
and demanded surrender. The Span.
iards asked until morning to com.

Amarapoora in Trouble.

A warrant has been forwarded from
Shanghai to the British Consul in Che

steamer Amarapoora, which ran ashore
on the s. e. Promontory in a fog early
in May, says the Japan Mail. 1t seems
that the master and managing owner
declined to leave the vessel, and, as no
enquiry into the accident could be held
in the absence of the master, this
course has had to be adopted to force
matters to a conclusion.
The AmarapoOra may be remembered
as having had considerable difficulty
in getting a cargo from British Colum-
bia to Honolulu last year. She finally

JAPANESE OPINION.
Nernacular Papers Discuss An
neXatiOn of Hawaii.

neXatiOn of Hawaii.
The Japan Mail says that Hawaiian
affairs had dropped out of the public
mind to a considerable extent until
the recent revival of interest by the
passage of the joint annexation reso-
luton by Congress. Only the Nippon
and the Yomiuri allude to annexation
now. But the Nippon is the organ of
the Chauvinists and the Yomiuri one
of the organs of the former Progress
sionists and their opinions are there
fore valuable The Nippon merely
states that if the United States annex
Hawaii they must assume all her re-
spOnsibilities. The Yomiuri is more
explicit. The Mail says:
1T thinks that there is no occasion
for Japan to assume a protesting at
titude. Her previous remonstrances
were intended to secure that her own
interests and claims should not be
overlooked in the event of annexation,
and on the 14th of last August her
Representative in Washington received
an explicit assurance from the United
States Government in the desired
sense. Now, therefore, she need not
concern herself about anything except
the compensation due to her people
on account of the immigration Incl
dent. That would be a very intelligi-
BILE and moderate view if it stopped
there. But the Yomiuri goes on to say,
in effect, that if the United States show
any intention of converting Hawaii in
to naval basis, Japan ought to OBJ
ject. There can be little doubt that,
after this war America will develop
into a great maritime Power, and if
she is going to have coal depots and
naval ports in Hawaii, the tranquility
of the Pacific will be threatened 1t is
Japan's business to oppose anything
of that kind"
