Sergeant Bonanzinga, a member of the
balloon staff of the Fifth army corps gave
a ST. Louis reporter the story OF how the
Spanards brought the balloon to earth, rid
died with shot. The story is particularly
interesting, inasmuch as the Santiago bal
loon Is one of the exhibits at the Trans
mississippi Exposition. "We went UP about
1000 feet relates the sergeant, "and were
held in that position by four cables The
height gave us an excellent view of the
San Juan Hill forts and trenches. We could
see troops moving cannon into position and
hauling ammunition and the bringing up of
infantry from the direction of Santiago We
made careful note of everything-the posi-
tion of every fieldpiece, its approximate cal
iber, the number of troops that the block
houses, and, in fact, everything our army
needed to know. This was worked out on
charts and the general information was tele-
graphed below to the officers.
I'VE had been at work couple OF hours
before the enemy discovered us. Then the
sharpshooters began popping away from the
treetops but somehow they didn't hit us.
Suddenly we noticed commotion in bat
terry near blockhouse Their big guns were
trained our way and shell went screaming
over the top of the balloon. They soon had
the whole battery working and our position
became decidedly uncomfortable.
"Shot and shell whiZzed around US for
hours, but did not hit us. Suddenly, about
$50 p. m. the balloon jerked violently to
one side and a cloud Of silk tumbled about
US. A shell had struck the gas bag
and we were sent whirling to the ground. I
crashed INTO treetoo and lost conscious
ness. When came to l was on a stretcher

WHEAT FIRMLY HELD ON AC-
COUNT OF DRY WEATHER.
Barley Rapidly Advancing-Oat
Market Firm at Higher Prices
Corn Unchanged.

San Francisco, March 22d.
Owing to the stiffenng wheat market
flour is very firm; market is quite active
Wheat is very firmly held locally, on ac-
count of the dry weather: futures made
another jump to-day. Barley is going up
in long jumps, and while the present dry
weather continues there is no saying
where the rise will stop: spot feed is
held for more than our figures; local
MASTERS and brewers buy only to fill
small immediate wants. Oats have again
advanced and some holders quote even
higher than our figures. No changes in
corn; not much demand. Rye is scarce
and is firm at an advance.
Hay has made several advances during
the week; a further advance is noted to-
day, and dealers predict still higher
prices. Bran and middlings are firm:
prices have an upward tendency. Rolled
barley has again advanced.
Another basket of strawberries was re-
ceVed from Santa Clara and brought
81 50. The market has, been literally
stocked with apples and oranges. Re
cepts of apples to-day were over 1,400
boxes and of oranges five cars. The dried
fruit market has been inactive and prices
have undergone no changes.
The butter market has advanced a frac
ton: there has been good demand for
shipment north: some dealers quote
higher than our figures There is much
difference of opinion among dealers in
eggs; some quote up to 14c on ranch and
12Iac on store. while others claim that
there is no scarcity, that eggs are being
stored, and that the market is even lower
than our figures.

RESTORING A LOST ART.
Teaching Colored Girls in the
South to Cook.

To the housekeeper OF to-day the
question of cooks is very serious one.
It is an OLD adage that good coking is
the only way to a mans heart" The
majority of men rebel against this soft
impeachment, but the wise and polite
woman always pays most attention to
the culinary department of her house
keeping. It is said the illustrious
Riehelieu invented the mayonnaise
dressing, showing that great minds
are by no means Indifferent to the pro-
per qualification of dainty catering.
The great majority of housekeepers
prefer colored girls as maids in their
kitchen. and the colored women of the
South have the reputation of being
sborn cooks" We read Of dishes
prepared by Southern "mammies" in
the old days which make ones mouth
fairly water, but the art, knack. trade,
or whatever name you choose to call
it by, seems to be dying out, and the
younger generation of colored women
growing up in the South seems to be
losing the art of preparing dainty,
toothsome dishes.
One of the large cooking schools in
this city has established very i'm
