WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE uncer-
tainty surrounding the visit of the
Princess Infanta Eulalie to the United
States to visit the worlds fair, which
has been attributed on the one hand to
fear on the part of the infanta that
she would not be able to undergo the
fatigue on the ground of entertainments
arranged for her, if she were able to
withstand the rigorS of the climate.
and on the other hand to diSSatisfac-
ton by the Spanish officials with the
character of the reception and the
manner of the entertainment provided
by this government for its guests, ,arises
from neither cause. While it is true that
the infanta is in delicate health, her
health is not in such critical state but
that if everything were satisfactorily ar
ranged she would bs able to brave all
possible danger thereto involved in
trip to Chicago and return. And 1t is
denied that dissatisfaction exists. or has
been expressed by the representatives
of the Spanish government with the ar
rangements for the entertainment Of
the princess and her party. There has
been
No Demand or Request
that the infanta should he invited to
stay at the executive mansion while IN
Washington, nor has it been expected
the president would in person receive
| her. either in New York or in this city,
upon her arrival. According to. her
people, the infanta would be perfectly
| satisfied with whatever quarters might
| be provided by this government III car
| rying out the invitation extended to the
queen regent of Spain (whose personal
representative she Isl to visit the United
| States as its guest. But it was learned
today that the representatives of Spain
and the United States have thus far
failed to reach satisfactory under
standing regarding the programme OF
courteses to be exchanged between the
president and the infanta in the course
of her stay in Washington. According
| to custom the princess, at a convenient
period after her arrival, would call upon
the president and Mrs. Cleveland
At the White House.
Whether or not the president should
return the call upon the princess at hel
quarters in the hotel is the question
upon the settlement of which depends
the future course Of the infanta. Inc
Spanish representatives, it is under
stood, insist that the return visit to the
princess is one that is due courtesy ano
should be paid. They argue that the
princess is the personal representative
of the queen, and is in the United State:
upon the express wishes of the congres!
thereof. Under these conditions, ant
these only. they feel that the return
visit should be paid. 1t the lnfantt
were travelling through the country a
tourist merely, she would pay her re-
spects to the president, but no vlsl
from him would be expected; nor, in
deed. would it be proper. Were shf
here as the representative OF Spain, NJ
answering visit would be expected II
her.
Call Upon the PresiGents
but. as the representative in her person
of the queen having been delegated b,
her under the invitation of the Unite'
States to visit this country, the Spanlsl
officials are quoted as saying that tina
courtesy, which should obtain lndlVldu
ais of the same rank, not etiquette, Qe
mands that the visit of the lnfanta ,,,l o.
reciprocated by the president. Th
subject has been very thoroughly dis
cusSed in Washington and Madrid, ant
a telegram from the latter, printed OF
Saturday morning, expressing al
| apprehension that the infanta'
health would not permit her to con
tinue on her journey to the Unite'
States. is considered here as preparing
for her return to Spain from Cuba, if
is found necessary to change the 0rigl
nal programme. The situation is EN-
barrassing, and many suggestions hay
been made of eXpedients to relieve II
| One of these, it is understood, was tha
the infanta and suite be entertained a
the White house during her stay, thu
