OUTLOOK AT PARIS.
Preparations for the Great Show are
Beng Pushed.


New York, Dec. 24.-B. D. Woodward,
the assistant commissioner general of
the United States to the Paris exposi-
ton of 1900 arrived in this city today
on the American liner ST. Louis. Mr..
Woodward said today:
ST have been called over to partici-
pate in the permanent organization of
the commission generals working staff
and to familiarize myself with the gen.
eral plan and scope of procedure in the
future, in order that, upon my return,
intelligently with the New York and
Chicago offices.
commissioner General Peck and ev-
cry member of his staff were at all
times most cordially received by the
Paris exposition officials and 1 may
say, we were generously treated, so far
as acceding to our requests for exhibit
space for it should be known that the
limits of the Paris exposition grounds
are fixed by inf1exible boundaries, boule-
wards, streets, avenues, business houses
and private reSidenceS-and are located
in the center of the city thus making
it impossible to extend the grounds in
order to secure more space with which
to satisfy the demands of a foreign
country. So that the additional allot-
ments of space made to the United
States, after the whole amount had
been appOrtiOned out to the various ma
lions of the earth-required more than
an ordinary effort upon the part of the
French exposition authorities and dem
onstrates their generosity and good
feeling toward US as a nation.
1.-The work of constructing the differ
ent exposition palaces, the great Alex
ander bridge and the quays that are to
line the banks of the river Seine is be-
ing generously prosecuted while all
other indications point to that success
which the French always give to their
expOSitiOnS.''

HAVANA, Dec. l3.-About 8 o'clock this
Morning, when funeral procession which
was escorting the hearse containing the re-
mains of Jesus Sotolongo, who was killed
Sunday night, reached the corner of Infanta
and San Jose streets, violent atfray took
place between the members of the funeral
party and some employees of the military
hospital The following were wounded:
DIR. BETANCOURT, Cuban deputy for
Santiago.
RAFAEL PORTUONDO, Cuban deputy.
VIDEL, the Cuban general.
RINAS, the Cuban colonel.
FRANCISCO LUCAS BLANCO, Span
lard.
RAMON GARCIA, a Spanard.
Three women and two children.
Garcia, who was stabbed may die, and
Portuondo was badly hurt.
One version of the affair is that the mill
tary hospital employees and a number Of
Spanish privates, who were standing in the
hospital portico, refused to remove their
hats when requested to do so by persons in
the procession. Thereupon the Cubans, it
is alleged, tried to knock off the hats and
a fight ensued.
The privates fired upon the procession, the
windows of the hearse being broken and
bullets striking the coffin. Knives and pis-
tolls were freely used.
The procession, which consisted of $50
carriages, continued to the Cuban camp near
Mariono, where military honors were ren.
dered. There were more than fifty wreaths
OF flowers from the friends of the dead man,
and the procession and ceremonial were
