MADRID. Aug. 15.-There seems to
be much division In the Carlists' ranks.
Some of them, such as Olazabal, say,
I'VE are not going to fight"
Another prominent Carlist says, IF
the Carlists do not fight at this june
ture, they viii never fight again.
DO not your sentiments OF patriot
ism prevent you causing Spain the ter
rible disaster OF another WARP he was
asked.
"On the contrary" he replied cynical
ly. If we do not go forth this time and
save the honor of Spain, If we abandon
her 10 the hands of those who have
placed her in eXtremis, we may con-
slider the Carlist party forever dead. II
would be mere suicide. When Will such
another occasion ever present itself2
The Carlists can dispose of many thou
sands Of men and carry on guerrilla
warfare until such time as the country
comes over to its side.
"As regards the regular army, we are
Just In the same position as the insur-
gents in Cuba, where 25O000 regulars
could not get the better Of 5000 or 10000
insurgents. III the Cubans counted on
the people of the island, we Carlsts
count upon the support Of the whole
north Of Spain, part Of Catalonia, Ara
gon. La Mancha and old CASTLE. In
short, you may state that the Carlsts
are ready TO rise"
The governors general 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 announce the carrying
out Of orders
An order has been issued by the cap
tain general of Madrid suspending the
publication of the Republican news
paper lei Pals.
Reports from Havana state that the
bombardment OF Manzanillo lasted from
o'clock I'm the morning until in the
evening and that attacks We're made
by the insurgents at various points.
During the engagement 10 Spaniards
We're killed. The American commander
summoned the town to surrender, Civ
ing the authorities three hours in which
TO capitulate.
The city was patrolled by police last
night, but perfect tranquility prevails.
The publication OF the protocol pro-
duced keen disappointment so far as It
refers TO the Philippines. where IL had
been hoped Spain would preserve her
sovereignty intact. Clause OF the pro-
tocol dispels this illusion.
Echoing public feeling, the lndepen-
dent and Opposition papers bitterly crit
icise the clause as affording pretext for
curtailing Spain's sovereignty In an
archipelago where control or interfer-
ence of n foreign power would make the
natives ungovernable.
rl Epoca says, "The peace is the sad.
dest imposed since the treaty OF
Utrecht and expresses doubt III q
government which has allowed itself tC
be dragged into a war will acquit itsoli
well by negotiating peace"
lei Pals prints the text OF the protocol
signed by the United States and Spain
with mourning borders and says:
"Spain without colonies is reduced I,
the role Of a third rate power"
FL impartial says. Peace Will no.
bring to Spain even the rest she Sc
much needs after three years and hal
OF war"
El Nacion says bitterly, "If Spain hal
at least been vanquished only after
furious and heroic struggle, she coul'
resign herself. Peace with the Unite,
States viii only be a momentary respit
from our misfortune"
El Liberal says the article IN the pro
tocol relating TO the Philippines doe
not indicate that anything good 70
Spain win be fixed upon, and the ques
ton win not be settled favorably 70
her.
El Globo (ministerlaD pines for peac
between Spain and the United State
and says the communications on east
ern questions which Day and Cambo
have signed begin the first chapter
new history of Europe.
El TEMPO Conservative says: "PeaC
is an accomplished fact. The bitterne'
Of defeat does not prevent us from SEE
ing with satisfaction the end Of tt
war;
