 Matthews Church.
MANY CALLERS WERE RECEIVED

and Wednesday to Be Spent in Seeing
 the City-She Returns to New York
 Friday-De1ighted With Her Reception.
 WASHINGTON, May 22-The Infanta Eulalie started in this morning under the escort of Comman der Davis, to visit the government buildings and other places of interest in the city.
 Her first Sunday in the United State was spent with brief walk, attendance upon church and ride in the afternoon. At 0:3O o'clock, accompanied by her hus- band, Prince Antoine, and a lady in wait ing, she took a short stroll about Lafay = cite Park
 The party were joined by Commander Davis, who had previously called at the Infanta's apartments. They proceeded to St. Matthew's Church, a block away, and attended mass. It had been stated that the Infanta would attend II o'clock serv- ices, and in consequence there were only the usual number of early church goers present.
 The contrast between this and the In fanta's last attendance at hurch was very marked. A week ago yesterday she wor- shipped in Havana, and grand display was made in honor of the presence of a royal parsonage. The Infanta then was met at the entrance of the church by the priest, sprinkled with holy water and given the cross to kiss. All honors due her rank were shown her. It seemed that yesterday she desired to observe all simplicity possi- ble. Without any prearranged plans she entered the church quietly, attracted no attention, and sat among the other wor- shipers.
 After services the party under the es- cort of Commander Davis were driven to the Washington monument, through the Agricultural and Smithsonian grounds and then returned to the hotel where breakfast was served at 12 o'clock. Dur ing the early afternoon hours the Infanta received callers.
 At o'clock Secretary Gresham drove the Infanta and her husband to the Sol diers' Home. Returning they were caught ill heavy shower, but the landau was closed and they suffered no inconvenience
 In the evening the Infanta. Prince An toine, Duke de Tamames, the Marchoness of Arco IIermosa and Commander Davis dined with Senor Muruaga, the Spanish Minister, at the Legation.
 The following is the programme arranged for the week:
 To-day and Wednesday of this week will be devoted to sightseeing. The In fanta and suite will visit all the Govern ment buildings and other places of interest in Washington under the guidance of Commander Davis.
 Tomorrow morning the members of the diplomatic corps will accompany the royal party on a steamer chartered for that pur- pose and in command of Commander Davis. It was originally intended that a reception to the diplomatic corps should be given by the Infanta at the Arlington on Monday night, but this has been changed and the members of the corps will be received by her on board the steamer at it's wharf on Tuesday before the start is made for Mt. Vernon.
 On Thursday evening at 8 o'clock the President and Mrs Cleveland will give a dinner to her Royal Highness and the roy al party at the Executive Mansion, at which the Cabinet officers and their ladies will be present. As this dinner will be of an official character all those entitled to do so will be requested to appear in full uni form.
 Wednesday evening the Princess will attend ball to be given in honor of the birthday of Queen Victoria by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador at the British embassy.
 The Infanta and suite will leave Wash ington for New York on Friday.
 The invitation to attend the grand ball to be given her in New York City has been accepted by the Princess.
 The Infanta has decided that so long as she remains the official guest of the nation, she will accept no invitations to entertain ments to be given is her honor except such as are contained in the programme ar ranged for her by the United States off cials in charge of her visit. She expects, however to throw off her official character in short time, probably after the func- tions in her honor given in Chicago have been concluded, and she will then go fur ther west in character of a private person age. Her tour is likely to extend to the Vel lowstone Park.
 The duration of the stay ot the Infanta in the United States has not been definitely determined, but it will be from one to two months.
 This morning the Princess expressed herself as delighted with her enthusiastic reception in Washington and said she was very grateful for the courtesies extended her.
 However much people may believe she desires to be honored, the Infanta wishes to be understood that she has no desire to be treated in any other manner than that arranged by the government and is per- fectly satisfied and willing to abide by all arrangements that may be made whether they conform or not to the puuctillio of Spanish court etiquette.
 Her own wish is to be treated in an American way and not to cause any em. barrassment to her entertainers by de- sire on their part to act in conformity with every detail of etiquette that her high rank might seem to demand Preparing to Try the Machias. WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Navy De. partment is now preparing the instruction for the trial of the gun boat Machias, be- ing constructed by the Bath (Maine) Iron Works The trial will not take place until the New York's trial is over, as a number of officers on the New York's trial
