Special to The MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, May 19.-The Infauta Eu-
lalia, the official and personal representa-
tive of Queen Regent Christina of Spain,
arrived al the port of New YORK to-day,
and for the first time in many years the
q nited States entertains officially men,
ber of one of the royal reigning families of
Europe.
Soon after dawn this morning. the
Dolphin, preceded by the Spanish war
ship Infanta Isabel, steamed down TO the
Hook, and there found the Spanish steamer
Rena Maria Christina. bearing the dis
tinguished guests. lying at anchor. The
Infanta Isabel fred the royal salute upon
seeing the ship.
After the arrangement of the official
details, the three vessels, handsomely dec
GRATED with flags and bunting. hoisted their
anchors and steamed up the bay.
AS the start was made the Dolphin
swung around in the lead, and the Ameri-
can and Spanish colors were broken to the
breeze al the mastheads. and the national
salute of twenty-one guns began to boom
out.
AT quarantine the vessels dropped
anchor. and in few moments commotion
was visible on the Christina Fer barge
the yards, and to the accompaniment of
the national salute Infanta Eulalia and
party stepped into the barge. the Princess
private standard fluttered in the bow, and
the little craft danced along toward the
Spanish warship. The passage was made
in safety, and the guests were formally re-
ceived on the deck of the lnfanta Isabel.
The steamer Emmons, loaded with the
fsl,
gayly around the fleet, playing the national
Spanish air, and in the meantime the
barge of the Dolphin was put afloat, and
Commander Davis. in special full dress
uniform, was rowed over to the lisa bel.

tain's cabin. where the Infanta was in
stalled, and was presented to the Princess
by the Spanish Minister. The meeting
was pleasant aud as devoid of formality
as such meetings can be.
Commander Davis in few welI-chosen
words welcomed the 1nfanta to the United
States in the name of the President, and
the Infanta res onded in simple and unaf-
fected language expressing her great graf
ifiratlon at the opportunity which had
been offered her.
Then the Isabel turned her prov up
stream and never stopped till her anchor
was dropped.
At quarter to the yards of the Isabel
were manned again and the Dolphin's
barge slipped through the water. and this
time it returned freighted with royalty. A
chorus of whistles went up from the near
by steam craft, the Dolphin's guns doomed
and from the mainmast-head broke out a
magnificent silk royal purple standard,
bearing in gold the crest of the Infanta's 5
family.
The barge drew up alongside and the
Infanta was helped out by Lieutenant
Badger. The marines and sailors were
drawn up in nautical array and the officers
stood about, brilliant in ful-dress uni
forms. The lnfanta reached the top of
the gangway, stopped and stood silently
for minute looking at the scene, and then
a smile of appreciation and pleasure
lighted up her face.
She extended her hand to the nearest
officer and for few moments engaged in
animated conversation with the naval
contingent. Commander Davis soon led
the way to the saloon, where the remain
der of the royal party were made known
to the Dolphin's officers, and then the Wis
itors sat down to an elaborate luncheon.
More than an hour was occupied in the
consumption Of the repast, and it was not
until 2:4J o'clock that the royal visitors
embarked again-this time in tug-and
steamed for the Adams Express pier, ad-
joining the Pennsy lvania Railroad dock.
For the third time the Dolphin's guns
belched forth tweDty-one times and the
royal standard was dropped.
The party landed and was taken directly
to the train. which pulled out OF the depot
at 1903 P. NJ, amid the cheers of the spec
