Of Santiago, which caused a great deal Of
ill-feeling among the Cubans and consider
able annoyance among the United States
military officials here.
All the colored regiments are encamped in

way because of the difficulty experienced
in managing them.
1t was expected that the colored soldiers
could not do much harm in the San Luis
district. which was chosen on that princi-
pie. The trouble began last evening in an
attempt to arrest two soldiers for abusing

the evidence to the contrary.
After an unsatisfactory attempt to get
at the facts OF the case over the wires
General Wood adjourned his inquiry until
this morning, when he left on a special

day with no little anxiety, At 8 o'clock

ALL SHOULD LEND
 THEIR BEST AID.
Concentrated Action Desirable on the Project of Holding an
 Exposition.

Sheriff Richard I. Whelan: "Any one who opposes the exposition proposed by The Call is opposed to the best in terests of this State, and I must say that have not met with any one who Is not heartily in favor of the propo- sitfon, and I have talked with a num- Der of people on the subject. It is i'm material whether the exhibition be held in 1900 or 1901, though probably the latter year will meet with many ardent supporters owing to the Paris Exposition of 1900. That point, how ever. should be of secondary consid- eration. The main idea on which We should all concentrate our best efforts is to give the exposition, and it will be an easy matter to decide when 1t should be given in order that 1t may be assured of undisturbed and unin- terrupted success.
 "I look upon eXpositions as the best means of attracting visitors to our State, and I firmly believe that the proposed semi-centennial exposition will cause more people to come here than ever before in the history of such affairs, and there is no reason why it should not surpasS all former efforts
 T would wish to be a jealous sup porter and earnest worker in the good cause, for I fully realize the great benefits that will result from 1t, and so does every fair-minded and pub lic-spirited citizen

CHOKED BY 4
 PIECE OF MEAT
Roast Beef Stuck Fast in the Larynx of Joseph Me-
 Donald.
He Fell to the Floor and Died With out Being Able to Call for
 Assistance.

Autopsy Surgeon Gallagher made sur prising discovery yesterday morning while performing an autopsy on the body of Joseph Mcdonald. who died suddenly on the evening before at the German Hotel at 560 Howard street
 Mcdonald was a ship carpenter, healthy and robust. He was eating din- ner in the hotel dining-room last Tuesday evening, and was seen to leave the table suddenly and walk into another room, where he fell to the floor unconscious, and died before any assistance could be rendered him. It was supposed at the time that death had been caused by heart disease or apoplexy, but the autopsy disclosed the fact that the man had been suffocate6 while trying to swallow an un- chewed slab of roast beef about four inches long and two inches wide The piece of meat lodged in the larynx of the reckless man, thus preventing him rom making any outcry or from even breath ing.
 The deceased was native of Nova Scotia and 55 years old.

ment which consumed the remaining mo- ments of the morning session.
 At the opening of the afternoon session Mrs Hoffman was recalled to the stand and allowed to testify that she had never seen her husband carry pistol, and that the relations existing between herself ana husband were affectionate and that they had lived happy without any trouble whatever for thirty days prior to the death of her husband.
 MT. Dreyfus testified that he had been employed by the firm of Hoffman. Roth child & Co.,, and that he had not seen Isaac Hoffman carry a revolver. = The same testimony was given by Charles Hoffman.
 John Lauer, a drayman, was called to the stand to testify that he was of the opinion that Isaac Hoffman was to meet Figel on the evening of June l. The de- fense objected, followed by a rather lengthy argument The point in question was taken under advisement by the court, and a decision as to whether or not the testimony shall be admitted will be given to-day. MT. Schutte was then called and testified that he had often been sent to the office of Isaac Hoffman, and went to the desk and through the drawers on various occasions and that he had never seen a pistol in the drawer. MT. Harris testified that he had not seen MT. Hoff- man carry pistol during the ten days prior to his death. Judge Murphy then stated that the prosecution would rest the case. but would reserve the right to call Mir Lauer after the decision had been given in regard to the admission of his testimony. The arguments in the case will be heard to-day.

Witnesses Testify for the Defense
 and for the Prosecution in Rebuttal

rhe defense in the Figel case was, finished yesterday morning, and ,vifnesses for. the prosecution were called in rebuttal by Judge Murphy. T,be first witness for the defense was J. w. Wiley, who testified that he had been a deputy County Clerk in Stock ton since 1878. and during that time no man named Hoffman had been in the clothing business in that city. Just what was expected to be- proved by the tesu- mony was rather vague.
 Sigmund Stencil. neighbor of Isaac Hoffman during the month of May prior to the shooting, was called to testify con- corning a quarrel he had overheard pe- tween Isaac Hoffman and Mrs. Hoffman, but an objection to this testimony was interpose1 by Judge Murphy and sus- tained by the court after a short argu- . ment
 Villain Hatteroth proprietor Of the eIestrieal supply establishment at Szl Kearny street, testified that he had elec- tric. belts on exhibition in the window. but that he never displayed prices. The testi- mony:: was given for the purpose of re- putting: the testimony given by J. G. Maloney that on the night of June he had walked along Kearny street and looked into the window of the witness stere, and noticed belts marked with 4bri'ces: General Barnes then notified the court: that increase for the defense was closed. with the. exception of one witness, .who would be called later.

: Stronger and stronger grows the trend of public opinion in favor of Call Ifornia's proposed semi-centennial ex- position, and it is certain that the movement wll result in success of a surpassing kind. : If any man has a vestige~ of. Opnosition in his heart against the proposition he Is discreet ly silent and conceaIs it most carefully. and it is only a question of time when he will be found. in the procession of enthusiastic. supporters. and be as loud in his expressions of approval as those who joined the ranks during the first inception of the project.
 =. It is a little early as. yet to make a forecast in regard to the outcome of the venture, which is still in its swad-
 ding clothes. but: the progressive spirit of San Francisco's citizens is too well :. known to have any fear of the result,
 and that factor alone would indicate
 that the exposition will be clothed in ~ the robes Of absolute success.
 There is no doubt that work is re-
 paired in connection with presenting an = exposition on the grand scale intended,
 and work, of a heroic kind. It will be necessary for citizens of all classes to " labor in it's behalf. It is a recognized . |. :: q this kind. and it is to be remem- : Rred that: California will reap many benefits by an exposition held within her confines, and it will rebound to her
 welfare in every particular
 ... As. soon as positive and substantial
 assurances: are received from all the
 surrounding States that they will CO.,
 operate in the good work, the people
 of this city will be in a better position 7, t0 go ahead and make all preliminary
 plans for the exhibition.
 = Mayor Phelan has not as yet made :. any selections for the committee Of fifteen, for, as he intimated a few days ago, he would be some little time in
 doing SO as he desired to choose only the best men for: the positions. He has received a number of applications from volunteers who wished to serve on the committee The Mayor will not an- . nounce the names for at least a week, for by that time he will have can 5Vassed among large number or rep .Tesentatiye citizens.
