the President.


Expresses a Desire to Conform to the
Arrangements Made Without Stick
ling over Spanish Etiquette.
a Washington, May 20.-A day perfect in
every respect greeted the royal party this
morning. The princess enjoyed good
nights rest and at 7:30 o'clock, according
TO Spanish custom, before leaving bed had
a cup of chocolate and Il biscuit. At $50
o'clock she got up and began to prepare
for her official call upon President and
Mrs. Cleveland, until which time she was
not officially known to be in the city At
1855 two handsome carriages drove up to
the summer annex of the Arlington hotel.
A large number of people had gathered
around the building, but a squad of police
kept them from encroaching too close in
front of the entrance. Promptly
at II o'clock the door opened
and the royal party proceeded
to the carriages AS soon as the carriages
started toward the white house the crowd
broke and ran through the park in that
direction to witness the arrival of the
distinguished party.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
As the carriage Of the infanta came to-
standstill under the broad, high portico
of the white house the three score or
more people gathered there pressed closer
together to catch sight of the princess.
Commander Davis alighted first, followed
by the Spanish minister and Prince An
tome. The prince assisted the princess
to alght and at the suggestion of Com
mander Davis, in answer to an inquiry
from the infanta, offered her his arm and
escorted her through the main doorway
fnfN tlof don
the mansion. The duke, the marchiOness
and the private secretary to the princess
followed. in the blue room the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland stood ready
to receive their royal visitors. The blue
room was tastefully- though not lavishly
decorated. SenOr Muruagua, the Spanish
minister, presented the infanta and
Prince Antoine, while Commander Davis,
the Duke of Tamares, the Marchioness of
Arc HernOso and SenOr don V TOvar
withdrew to the adjoining red room. The
greetings between those in the blue room
were very pleasant and had hardly tinge
Of fOrmality about them. They were over
in a minute or two and then the others
were summoned and presented in turn by
Senor Muruagua. Mrs. Cleveland and the
infanta chatted briskly in English during
part of the brief visit, while at times the
conversation was general. At rs O'Clock
the infanta made her adieu, followed by
the others. AS she walked across the
lobby d woman in the crowd waved her
handkerchief and called out in Spanish,
Greeting to the lnfanta Of Spain" The
princess looked pleased and the other
members of the party smiled.
