SORROW GENERAL.

Spanish People Beginning to Realize
Their Colonial Empire IL Gone.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of The Daily Mail says:
The comments Of the press on the pro-
tocol are veritable funeral hymns on
tho 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. =.. 81.
Many newspapers express great de.
spair that the mon who brought disss-
tor on Spain BY lack Of foresight, or.
sanisation and ability. should continue
to govern the country.

Wilson moved Lancaster's battery to
the front this afternoon for the purpose
of Smelling the Spanish position on the
crest Of the mountain at the head of
the pass through which the road
winds. The enemy occupied a position
of great natural strength, protected by
seven lines of entertainments and a
battery of two howitzers. The Span.
iards were eager for the fray and as
our battery rounded a curve in the
road 1900 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 a gallop

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

companies to advance were counter
manded and the firing soon ceased.
Colonel Bliss went forward with q
