be treated in any other manner than tina
arranged by the government and is per
! fectly satisfied and willing to abide by al
arrangements that may be made whethe

! Spanish court etiquette.
Ter own wish is to be treated in al
! American way and not to cause any em
| barrassment to her entertainers by a de
sire on their part to act in conformity will
every detail OF etiquette that her higl
rank might seem to demand.
The fact that Mr. Cleveland did not re

remembered When Queen Kapiolani wai
here and visited the President he did jus
! as he did Saturday
