Among the patronesses OF the ball, list OF which
| Is given herewith, many OF the leading society
OF this city, and the affair, 1t takes place,
will undoubtedly be worthy Of the distinguished
| visitor.
Many people. however who are anxious that the
visit Of the Infana shall be marred by no mlsinaer
standing, fearful lest there shall be some friction
between the local committee ard the Federal author
| tiles. Commander Davis who represents the United
States as personal escort to the Infanta, thinks that
all invitations her should be given through him.
and that she should accept hospitalitics except
! those OF official character. The committee III
charge OF the arrangements for the ball, acting under
the advice Of the Spanish Minister believe that the
Infanta will accept their invitation especially as 1t
will from her fellow cOuntrymen, and they
propose TO 60 the bay to meet her on their own
account and present to Der their invitation without
! reference Commander Davis.
There Is evidently conflict OF opinions and inten
tons but II Is believed that the willingness OF both
parties TO leave everything to the wishes OF Inc
Infanta Will prevent airy serious dlihcul'y IL may
| be somewhat embarrassing to the mlahta' however,
/ to decide what she will do.

How many are there in the party Of the lnfana y
was asked.
Five think. The Infana. her husband and his
secretary and two ladies' In waiting
" Then she has not private band, as has oeeh
reported"
| NO. There IS spanish military band on the
steamship on which she Is coming, bound for the
Worlds Fair. but 1t is not in any way connected

IT has been said that it is the feeling in Wash
ingion that the Inanta will accept no Invitations
