QUARANTINE, S. 1 May, 19.-The
day dawned bright and beautiful |
and the waters of the narrows and |
lower bay giistened and glinted in
the sunlight. The arrival late yes
terday afternoon of the Spanish
steamer Reina Maria Christina
having on board Infanta EulalIa,
her husband, Prince Antoine d. Or
leans and members of their party
was somewhat of surprise as she
was not expected until early this
morning. This however, did not in
terfere with arrangements for the
reception of the representative of
the Queen Regent Of Spein. At an
early hour the Dolphin passed out
to the hook and was followed short
ly afterwards by the Spanish war
ship Infanta Isabel.
At $50 the Spanish vessels
weighed anchor, and passing in
were preceded by the Dolphin,
which had been awaiting their
movements off the government dock.
The Dolphin steamed ahead, leading
the way up through the ship chan
mel saluting with her bow chaser.
| At 1915 the spars and white hull of
the Dolphin showed out plainly be-
yond the grey walls of fort Wads-
werth and about three cable lengths
behind her followed the Reina Ma
ria Christisna. About the same dis.
tance behind came the Infanta Isa-
! bel.

the Infanta Isabel were dressed

} which carries no yards, had all hel
