Station Gives Her a Cheer as the
Train Starts for Washington-A A
Magnificent Special Train Placed at
Her Disposal-Salutes Fired in Her
Honor in the Bay.
Quarantine S. l., May 19.-Day dawned
bright and beautiful and the waters of
the narrows and lower bay glistened and
clinted in the sunlight The arrival late
yesterday afternoon of the Spanish
steamer Reina Maria Christina having
on board the Infanta Eulalie, her hus-
band, Prince Antoine d'Orleans, and the
members of their party, was somewhat of
a SURPRISE as she was not expected until
early this morning. This, however, did
not interfere with the arrangements for
the reception of therepresentatives of the
Queen Regent of Spain. Atan early hour
the Dolphin passed out to the hook and
was followed shortly afterward by the
Spanish warship Infanta Isabel At 8 9:30
o'clock the Spanish vessels weighed an
chor and, passing in, were preceded by
the Dolphin, which had been awaiting
their movements off the government dock.
The Dolphin steamed ahead. leading
the way up through the ship chan
mel and saluting with her bow
chaser. At 1915 o'clock the spars
and white hull of the Dolphin showed out
plainly beyond the gray walls of Fort
Wadsworth, and about three cable lengths
behind her followed the Reina Maria
Christina. About the same distance be-
hind came the Infanta Isabel The Reina
Maria Christina and Infanta Isabel were
dressed rainbow fashion, while the
Dolphin, which carries no yards, had all
her bunting set fore and aft.
ALL AT ANCHOR.
The Dolphin ran past the dock here
and came to anchor. The Reina Maria
Christina followed, dropping her anchor
in front of the wharf. The lnfanta Isabel
passed the other Spanish vessel and took
her position between the Dolphin and
Reina Maria Christina. The transfer of
the infanta was made at quarantine and
not in the lower bay. DR. Jenkins boarded
the Reina Maria Christina to pay
his respects to the infanta, and shortly
afterward an SCARED boat with a Spanish
flag in the stern and the purple standard
of Spain in front of it was pulled to the
gangway. AS the infanta and Prince
Antoine went over the side the Saragossa
band on the Reina Maria Christina
struck up the Spanish national anthem.
The small boat then pulled around Reina
Maria Christina and headed for the In
fanta Isabel, which was surrounded by
tugs, yachts and small boats AS the
boat bearing the infanta approached the
warships the yards were manned, and as
she went aboard a salute of twenty-one
guns was fired. When the guns of the
warship had ceased their booming the
cannon at Fort Hamilton took up the
strain and answered the salute, gun for
gun. Upon the cessation of the firing the
crew of the Infanta Isabel gave three
cheers for their royal visitors. At II 10
the Infanta Isabel hove her anchor and
headed up the bay, and with her royal
passengers proceeded for Jersey City.
AFRAID OF THE WATER.
Jersey City, n. j., May 19-The water
was so rough that the infanta declined to
board the Dolphin down in the bay and
1t was arranged that the ships should
rendezvous in the north river near Jersey
Clty, where the transfer could be more
safely made The Infanta Isabel, with
the nfanta on board, anchored opposite
the Pennsylvania railroad docks at noon.
Inc Dolphin came up fifteen minutes
later. The infanta was transferred from
the Isabel to the Dolphin in the captains s
gig; The Isabel fired twenty-one guns
and the Dolphin twenty-one as the infanta
was received on board. They were

ors island, and then the Isabel fired
another 21-gun salute. At 2:45 o'clock
the infanta and her party were
transferred to the government tug Mar
heeta and landed at the elevator and
taken up to the elevated road station
Inc elevator was handsomely carpeted for
the occasion and carpets were laid from
the elevator along the platform to the
train. The train consisted of four cars

lene, the parlOr car Felicia and President
Pullman's private car Wildwood. The
party was in charge of Robert A Parke,
southeastern passenger agent of the Penn
syIVanla railroad. Before the train
started a crowd of several hundred people
mad gathered about the special train and
more particularly about the private car
wildwood, which was set apart for the
exclusive use of the young princess and
ner immediate suite. AS she alighted
from herfcarriage and faced the crowd
mat gazed in respectful silence upon the
party she betrayed the first sign of
uhlldlty' and for second clung to the
arm OF her escort, Commander Davis.
LOOKED LIKE YOUNG AMERICAN NIATRON.
30 tar as her habit was concerned she
might have passed for typical young
American matron. Robed in pretty

Just least bit suggestive of a substitute

with black lace and pronounced red and
green feathers. just a murmur of appro-
patton by the crowd swelled into a genu-

admitting the pleasure and novelty of the

was the beauty of the landscape along the

remarked with sigh Of pleasure that she

after leaving Baltimore. and so the time
eonsumed in the run to Washington passed
quickly and pleasantly.
