WAsHINGTON, May 20-A day perfect in
every respect greeted the royal party THIS
morning. At $50 o'clock the princess
arose and began 20 prepare for the Official
call upon President and Mrs. Cleveland,
until which time she was not known
officially to be in the city. The arrange
ments made last night by Secretary
Gresham fixed the hour for the call at II
o'clock a. N. Five minutes before that
time two handsome carriages drove up to
the summer annex Of the Arlington. The
public knowing that this visit was TO be
made, had gathered around the building
in goodly numbers, 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. There
was no demonstration. The princess sub
mitted to the gaze of the curious crowd
good n3turedy. The princess was simply
attired. She wore Il princess OF grey Deu-
galine bordered around the train with
grey ostrich feathers. A pink satin girdle
completed the toilet. Her bonnet was

satin ribbons tied under the chin, with
short white net veil over her face. In her
hand she carried beautiful parasol OF
chiffon and lace.

the White House the crowd broke and ran
through the park in that direction to wit

women heralded the approach of the in

AS her carriage came to ii standstill under
the broad high porticO the three score or
more of people gathered there pressed
closer together to catch a sight of the
princess. The prince assisted the princess
20 alight aud escorted her through the
main doorway into the corridor of the pri-
vate part of the mansion. The rest OF the
party followed. The scene in the blue
room. where all neutrality-suspicious. are held,
was very enticing. aud was enhanced by
the soft half light that pervaded the
apartment and by the vista OF bright
colored roses and green plants that opened
out at the end Of the corridor. The cOrrl-
dor and the blue room had been tastetuily
decorated with palms, oleanderS and other
Towering plants. President and Mrs.
Cleveland stood ready III the blue room to
receive the royal visitors. Senor Murua-
qua, the Spanish minister, presented the
infauta aud Prince Antoine, while the rest
OF the party Withdrew to an adjoining
ROOM The greetings between those IN the
blue room were very pleasant, anu had
hardly IA tinge of formaiity about them.
They were over in a minute or two, and
then the others were summoned and pre-
seuted in turn by Seuor Nuruagua. Mrs.
Cleveland and Infanta Eulalle chatted
during part of the brief visit, while at times
the conversation was general. At nfteen
minutes past eleven, the lntanta made her
adieux, followed by the others. As she
walked across the lobby a woman IN the
crowd waved her handkerchief and called
