PARIS EXPO ON SUNDAY
WEATHER WAS SATISFACTORY.
BUT THAT WAS ALL.

PARIS, April 15-Glorious weather ia
vored the opening of the exposition to
the general public today, and immense
crowds locked into the grounds The
area Of the exhibition, however, is so
great that nowhere was there any crush.
The visitors were mainly composed of
provincials and foreigners Comparative
~ few Parisians were to be SEEN Aware
of the great backwardness of the prep
arations, they remained away for the
most part.
The management demanded two en-
trance tickets for morning admission, one
for afternoon admission and two during
the evening, when the Eiffel tower and
the palaces on the Champs de Mars were
illuminated. But there were absolutely
no attractions provided, not even a band
of music, and the people promenaded in
front of the empty and, in many cases,
unfinished buildings and along the roads,
where only in the case Of the main ave-
nues had the work of paving been COM
pleted.
Visitors who left the central arteries
found their pathway filled with pitfalls
and heaped with debris, some thorough
fares resembling mere bride paths. The
crowd, however, was good-natured and
took the matter philosophically Hardly
a murmur was heard anywhere in the
way of criticism.
The moving sidewalk access to which
cost so confines, proved a great success
and was damned through the day.
The American national pavilion remain
ed closed. So did most Of the other pa
vilions, for the excellent reason that their
interiors were still unfinished.

ONE PARTY WAS MIFFED
BECAUSE GOMEZ ACCEPTED THE
COURTESY OF THE OTHER.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 15.-The
reception rendered to Gen. Maxine Gomez
today on his way to Santo Domingo
caused great excitement owing to the
efforts of the white and black parties to
obtain the first recognition. The black
party, represented by the Cubano Libre,
which continues occasional publication in
defiance of the orders of the authorities,
who have directed its suppression, sent a
tug to meet the steamer Maria Herrera
at quarantine and succeeded in inducing
Gen. Gomez to accompany them. Mean
while another tug, carrying the civil gov
ernOr, Gen. Castillo, the mayor and other
officials representing the dominant white
party, was entirely ignored by Gomez
The black party, highly elated, took the
guest to the landing, where an immense
| crowd gathered on the frail private wharf
of local boat club. This collapsed and
many were thrown into the water, one
man being drowned
The official party declined to recognize
Gen. Gomez in consequence of his recog-
milton of the black party, and there is
considerable excitement. When the pro-
cession passed through the city without
either civil governor or mayor rioting
was narrowly prevented by the vigorous
action of the police under American Of
ficials.
This afternoon all the clubs gave recep-
lions to Gen. Gomez, but the white party
refused to attend any of them.
