in which, referring to the royal party, he
spoke as follows: sit is my privilege and
pleasure in your names, in the name of
the reverend archbishop, who is absent
in the duty of dedicating church at
Now Rochelle and in the name Of the
vicar general, and in the name of all the
Catholic people in this broad country, to
welcome the infanta and her consort
to America. They must be indeed
hard to please if their hearts don't swell
with pleasure at the sight of this glorious
country, with its energy, its freedom and
its marvellous resources.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. IN AMERICA.
"The Catholic church is more strongly
founded in this country than in any in the
world. Indeed in no part of the world is
1t stronger, more energetic and more
powerful in its influence on the hearts
of the people than it is in the United
States, and, indeed, IN the whole con
tinent of America They must remember,
too, with qualification, that it was
through one of their illustrious ancestors
that the gates of this great land were
opened. We owe their ancestors homage
and to them all the respect we can give
them. ! wish again 10 say that, in your
name, and in thename of all the Catholics
of America, we wish them the greatest
pleasure and happiness of their lives in
this visit to America

bishop Corrigan awaiting her AS she
held out her hand to the arch

ring he wore and leaned over and kissed
it. In company with President Farnes,
and followed by the prince and archbishop,
she proceeded TO the ball room The In
fanta was escorted to a dais, upon which

The Minister to This Country in Favor
of a Protectorate,

Washington, May 2S.-Dr. Guzman, the
Nicaraguan minister, has received no
official notice that Nicaragua desires the
United States to establish protectorate
over that country. DIR. Guzman is of
the opinion, however, that such win be
the Ultimate issue under the condition of
affairs existing there. The Nicaragua
canal project, he says, closely con-
meets the two countries and its
interest will be greatly enhanced if
the United States gained supremacy
He thinks the internal dissensions in
Nicaragua will soon be amicably settled
to the satisfaction of all concerned. Pri-
vate advices received here state that the
revolutionists have found that they have
undertaken a greater task than they can
manage since gaining the upperhand, and
will be willing to relinquish control pro-
vided they are granted amnesty and rep
resentation in the cabinet

CLEVELAND ON AN OUTING.

Record-Breaking Vampoose.

He Takes a Trip on Mrs. Hearst's
Record-Breaking Vampoose.
Washington, May 2S.-Upon invitation
of Ambassador Bayard, President Cleve-
land and Secretaries Gresham and Car
Isle to-day took a trip down the
Potomac in Mrs. Hearst's yacht,
the Vampoose, the craft that holds
the fastest record in the world,
The distinguished party reached the
Seventh street wharf, where the Vamoose
has been lying for the past few days,
about 1:30 O'Clock. Quite a crowd was
on deck viewing the craft, and was
greatly surprised when the Presi-
dent, accompanied by Secretary Car
Isle, appeared, being quickly fol-
lowed by the remainder of the
distinguished party. There were no
ladies other than the hostess aboard The
guests took possession of reclining chairs
that had been placed on great rugs amid
ship and proceeded to enjoy a sociable and
informal chat that was interrupted after
they had got well on their way by the an
nouncement that luncheon was spread in
the cabin.
FAST RUNNING.
The, tripwhich covers eighty-five miles,
was uneventful, although the President
probably never rode on water so rapidly
before. Ihere was no effort at speedy
running on the way down the Potomac,
but on the return trip, when they reached
Mount Vernon, the chief engineer
put the long-pointed craft over sixteen
statute miles in thirty-siX minutes.
From Alexandria to Washington, dis
tance of about seven miles, took about
1115 minutes. Although the weather was
cloudy the party thoroughly enjoyed their
outing. They reached the wharf at
o'clock and were at once driven to their
respective homes.
