Mushrooms belong to the table delicacies
which must be brought fresh to the kitchen In
order to be really good, and for that reason the
dollhouse article is in demand. Some OF those
which come to the New-York market are raised
in caves on Long Island but larger quantities
come from the vicinity Of Boston. The best
spawn Is imported from England, and one
grower said that when the mushroom bed is
first prepared the temperature must be kept at
40 degrees for short time, and Is then al

What 1t Is Costing the Government to
Carry on the War.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE coun-
try continues to run in debt at the
rate of nearly th"ee-quarters of
million dollars day in excess of its
receipts from all sources. Last Thurs
day the Treasury statement showed
an excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts for the first sixteen days of
this month, of $l1,4O0ll7 81. The
total receipts for the first sixteen
days of this month, from all sources,
aggregated $l6,O 1888 SO, while the
total expenditures amounted to $27,-
45l 900. Thus it will be seen that
the Government is spending money
at the rate of nearly 100000 per
day. And the cash in the treasury
is beginning to show the effects of
the drain. At the close of business
last Wednesday evening it amounted
to only $l85, 875 694 SO. This includes
gold coin, gold bullion, standard sill
yer dollars, greenbacks, silver bull
lion and all other kinds of cash.

Work on the third fleet of trans
ports has progressed so favorably
that they will probably all be ready
to sail by Saturday. The Tennes-

The developments of diphtheria

Once, with the Insurgents to Lead the
Way and Scour the Bushes.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Gen.
Shafter is showing himself man of
deeds. He is landing his army
promptly at Daiquiri and at Jura-
que, the former about fifteen miles
west and the latter about twelve
miles east of the entrance to San
tiagO harbor. The Spaniards offer
ed some resistance, but retired be-
fore the fire from the warships and
the attacks of the first landing
party, and were given a warm re-
ceptiOn by Cubans as they fell back.
The remainder of the army will
be rapidly put on shore, the pier OF
an ore smelling works at Daiquiri
being available for landing siege
guns and supplies.
The army will soon be ready to be-
gin the attack on Santiago. -Four
thousand more Cubans are march.
ing to join the 1000 who aided in the
landing.
1t was expected at Washington
that the forward movement would
begin at dawn to-day. 1t may re-
quire three days to reach Santiago,
as there will be no marching in the
heat Of the day. The Cubans will
be employed as an advance guard
to expose any ambuscade. Active
and continuous fighting is expected
Meantime the navy is to be engaged
in destroying the forts.
Information as to the landing
came by direct cable from Admiral
Sampson and Gen. Shafter, who re.
ported briefly to their resp ective de-
partments, while Lieut.. Col. Allen
of the signal corps, in charge of the
cable at Playa del Este, reported
the facts more in detail to Gen
Greedy.

in the landing by clearing the Hill.

Orders have been given to hold as
prisoners of war all Spanish sub
jects taken on prize steamers. AS
there are over 2OOof these who are

Efforts will be made to get the
Porto Rican expedition under way
by the first week in July.
Admiral Sampson is at last in di-

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
gives the following merited rebuke
to the war news prevaricatOrs I'm
arriving at conclusion concerning
the condition of affairs in Cuba it
would be we'll enough to make some
allowances not only for the patriotic
exuberances of the correspondents,
but for other reasons arising out of
the nature of things. Every attack
made by the Americans must be
brilliant, and beyond doubt is brill
liant, but it is difficult to under
stand how fort can be blown into
atoms and pulverized to dust when
in the next line We are told that 'as
our warships steamed away half a
dozen shots were fired spitefully by
the Spaniards.' The Spaniards are
hereditary prevaricatOrs who can
not be believed at any time, be-
cause the luxuriance of their men
dacity, like noxious weeds, chokes
whatever feeble sprigs of truth there
may be in their reports. The Eng
lish correspondents, while friendly
to us, are perhaps the most reliable,
and these do not enthuse quite as
much as the American news
gatherer who stands 'on the bridge
of the admira's flagship and wit
nesses the battle. Some of these
blarsted Britons go so far as to in
innate that the bombardments OF
Matanzas, Cardinas, Cienfuegos and
San Juan were failures ard that a
good deal of powder and steel have
been consumed without any cor
responding damage to the enemy re-
sulting. Our fleet has been liberal
in dealing out its prOjectiles, not in
frequently exchanging eight-inch
shells for the bullets of the rife
men hid in the thicket.' The

with gun cotton landward and the
veracious correspondent first de.
scribed the awful effects of the pro-
jectiles and opined that the NOR
tally must have been great, but in
summing up admitted that the
night was so dark nothing could be
seen and that nothing was known
save that one of the shells blew q
hole in an island in the inner bay
1t may be well enough to jolly the
country now and then in order tC
keep it in good humor, but in the
interest of accuracy it might be well
to make allowances for the excite
ment of the moment when the
war news is being penned.
