WASHINGTON, May 15.--The uncertainty
Surrounding the visit Of the Princess In
4Fnth Eulalie TO the United States to visit
lthe worlds fair, which has been at
tTibuted on the one hand to a fear on the
0Art Of the ipfanta that-she would not be
Able TO undergo the fatigue of the round
OF entertainments arranged for her, II she
were able to stand the rigors Of the climate,
/. and on the other hand to a dissatisfaction
by tho Spanish officials with the character
OF the reception and the manner of the en-
tertainment provided by .his government
for its guest, arises from neither cause.
While 1t is true that the infanta Is in
delicate ealth, her health was not in such
3 critical state but that II everything was
satisfactorily arranged she would be able
10 brave all possible danger thereto in
Solved In q trip to Chicago and return.
And it Is denied that dissatisfaction exists,
pr has been expressed by the representa-
tives OF the Spanish government with the
Arrangements for the entertainment of the
princess and her party. There has been no
demand or request that the infanta should
be invited to stay at the executive man
sion while In Washington, nor has 1t been
expected that President Cleveland would
p 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 gov
trnment in carrying out the invitation ex
tended to the queen regent Of Spain, whose
personal representative she is, to visit the
United States as its guest. But 1t is
learned that the representatives OF Spain
Ind the United States have thus far failtd d
10 reach satisfactory understanding re-
gHrding the program of courtesies to be
exchanged between the president and the
infanta in the course of her stay in Wash
tngton. According to the custom, the
princess, at u convenient period after her
SFrival, would call upon the president and
0frs. Cleveland at the White House.
Whether or not the president should re
turn the call upon the princess at hei
quarters In the hotel is the question upon
che settlement of which depends the future
course Of the infanta.
The Spanish representatives, it is under
stood, insist that the return visit to the
princess is one that is due by courtesy, and
should be paid. They argue that the prin
cess Is the personal representative of the
queen, and Is In the United States upon
the express invitation OF the congres:
thereof Under these conditions, and these
only, they feel that the return visit should
be paid.
II the infanta were travelling through
the country us a tourist merely she woult
pay her respects to the president, but nj
visit from him would be expected; nor, in
deed would it be proper. So too, il sh'
were here as the representative of the gov
ernment CT Spain, no answering yisi
would be expected to her call upon th'
president But as the representative il
her person of the queen, having been dele
gated by her under the invitation Of tn,
United States to visit this country, tn,
Spanish officials are quoted as saying tina
she courtesy which should obtain indi
yiduals of the same rank, not etiquette
demands that the visit of the infanta b,
reciprocated by the president.
The situation is embarrassing, and man,
suggestions have been made of expedienti
TO relieve it, One of these, 1t is understood
was that the infanta and suite be enter
tanned ut the White House during her stay
thus obviating altogether the difficult,
svsr the visits There is no precedent fol
ths guidance OF the officials here, as no on
assuming to be the personal representa-
tiyeofa sovereign has ever visited thi
country
= CHICAGO, May 15.-The Dude of Veragu
hos received dispatch from the captain
general of Cuba, announcing that the In
fenta Eulalie WAS really i'll at Havana, bu
5t did not state whether her visit to th
United States was abandoned.
