evening and She had a clean bill of
health from the Consul general at Iia-

accorded permission to proceed with
out delay here.
At about l0:l5t the spars and the white
huh of the Dolphin showed ont plainly
beyond the gray walls of Fort Wads-
worth and about three cable lengths be-
hind her followed the Reina Maria

behind came the Infanta Isabel. The
Reina Maria Cristina and the Intluta
Isabel were dressed rainbow fashion.
while the Dolphin. which carries Ii"
yards, had all her bunting set fore and
aft. The Dolphin ran past the dock
here and came to anchor. The Reina
Maria Cristina followed, dropping
her anchor in front of the
wharf. The Infanta Isabel passed the
other Spanish vessel and took her posi-
ton between the Dolphin and the Rcina
Maria Cristina. The transfer of the
Infanta was made at Quarantine and not

the Keina Maria CriStina ia pay his re
spects to the Infanta and shortly after
wards an cight-oared boat with the
Spanish flag in the stern and the purple
standard Of Spain IN the front of it was
pulled to the gangway.
As the Infanta and Prince Antoine
went over the side, the ~ar2gOss.i band
on the Reina Maria Cristina struck up
the Spanish national anthem. The
mail boat then pulled around the Reina
Maria Cristina and headed for the In
fanta Isabel which WAS surrounded by
tugs, yachts and small boats. As the
boat bearing the 1ntant3 approached
the warship, wards were manned

Fort Hamilton took up the strain and
answered the salute gun for gun. Upon
the cessation of the firing the crew of
the Infanta Isabel gave three cheers for
their royal visitor. The ships were
riding on short cables and their bows
We're turned southwark and toward the
ocean, the tide being food. This nc
ccssitatcd the turning of the ships when
they got under way. At ll:lO the
Intanta Isabel hove heranchor short and
then made a sharp turn that took
her we'll under the stern of the
Reina Maria Cristina and headed up the
bay, at first keeping close into the Long
Island shore She soon headed straight
up the channel and with her royal pas
sengers proceeded for Jersey CITY. The
Dolphin was next away. Is she
weighed anchor all her flags, save the
American and the Spanish at the main
masthead were hauled down and as
she attempted to follow close behind
the Infanta Isabel, she showed only
five flags
At exactly noon, while the midday
whistles were blowing, the Dolphin
dropped anchor in the Hudson River
off the Pennsylvania Railroad station
Soon the Spanish war vessel with the
Infanta Eulalia aboard dropped anchor
just above, and at ] clock all was ready
for the royal woman to land. The
Dolphin opened saluting fire oftwentv-
one guns, the Spanish answering GUN
for gun. Then Fort William took up
the Humorous tune, and Eulalia and her
followers were transferred 10 a cutter
which conveyed them in care of Com
mander Davis to a landing stage that
had been especially prepared near the
station. The visitors at once repaired
to the waiting special train. which. as
soon as all were aboard, started for
Washington.
The Intanta may, when occasion de
mands, be very CercmoniOus, but ii was
apparent to-day that she did not deem
this to be the proper occasion for stand
ing upon the dignity of her position
She was plainly but handsomely at
tired and wore small dark-Colored hat
trimmed with feathers
