WASHINGTON, May 1G.- Before the
train bearing the princess Eulalie and
party started from Jersey City crowd
Of several hundred people had gathered.
As the princess alighted from her car
riage she might have passed for typical
young American matron as far as dress
and general appearance went. The
crowd burst out in genuine American
cheer as she stepped upon the platform
| of the special car "Wild Wood" and gave
smile and bow of acknowledgment. AS
the train rolled out of the station the
visitors gave their attention to the lux
ury of American railroad travel which
was unknown to them, and they were
not backward in admitting the pleasure
and novelty of the trip
An elaborate course dinner was served
on the train and So the time was con
sumed in the run to Washington. The
royal train arrived at $40 An immense
crowd of people had gathered in the Vi
cnity of the Pennsylvania railway sta
ton more than an hour before the
train arrived. The attaches of the Span
lsh legation were on hand as early AS :
o'clock. The party also included Mrs.
Curry, the wife of the eXminister to
Spain. Soon after their coming four
troops of United States cavalry under
the command of Col. Henry rode up and
formed in long line on the Sixth street
side Of the station. Secretary Gresham
and Assistant Secretary Quincy came
shortly after the arrival of the cavalry.

and fOotman were on board. Other Off
cials soon began to arrive. Among them

public grounds and buildings, who wore
IA full dress uniform in his capacity as

A double width Of carpet was laid along
the east side of the platform for the pas
sage of the royal party from the train to
the carriage Then detachment of
police drove back ali intruders from the
station. When the train steamed in the
princess was first to alight. Secretary

Secretary Gresham offered his arm to
the princess and, preceded by Col vii
son and Mr.. Parke, and followed by the
Infanta's suite, they walked down the
carpeted platform to the carriage at the |
entrance of the station. The crowd was
enormous and the princess looked pleas
ed as she saw the throng gathered to re.
ceve her. She clatted gaily in English |
with Gresham all the while. The In
fanta, Secretary Gresham. Minister
Muraka and Prince Antonia, entered the |
presidents carriage. The cavarymen |
saluted and the procession began to |
move up Pennsylvania avenue toward |
the Arlington hotel Four buglers on |
horseback and four troops of cavalry
formed an escort for the royal party. |
Six seigeants of cavalry acted as body |
guards to the princess and following her |
carriage came the carriages containing
the suite and the members of the re- |
ceiving party. The princess seemed |
particularly pleased at the manifesto
tions of popular enthusiasm along the
street and bowed graciously

sembled crowds, Immediately upon en-
tering the house the princess passed into |
