Special to THE MoRSINe CALL.

New YORK, May 13.-Ah evening paper
says: SO many complications having
arisen over the approaching visit of her
royal Highness, the Infanta Eulalie of
Spain. the various committees having
charge Of the affair are at their wits end.
After the slight and dignihed friction be-
tween the Circulo Colon Cervantes and
the society ladies who wanted to manage
the ball in the Infanta's honor had been
settled by placing the arrangements in the
hands of the society, with the ladies as
patronesses, the committee breathed freer
and thought that all the trouble was over.
Then they engaged regal quarters for her
royal Hghness at the Hotel Waldorf, and
that, they thought, settled the worst fea-
lures of the matter.
They were wrong. The Infanta has
thrown an etiquette bombshell into the
camp of the committeeman and it is
learned from an authentic source that she
has sent word that she will not stop at the
Waldorf Hotel and SO occupy rooms
formerly occupied by subject. In fact
she refuses TO be quartered at the same
hotel, much less 10 occupy the rooms
vacated by the Duke of Veragua, and the
members of the committee are in a
quandary now TO know where to get suit
able accommodations for the royal visitor.
10 fact, they literally do not know where
TO put the Princess, as the objection she
makes to the Hotel Waldorf will apply
with equal force 10 every hotel in the city.
OF course the Duke of Veragua did not
occupy rooms at every hotel in the city,
but there is o telling whether some other
Spanish subject might have done so at
some time or another, and a Princess of
the house of the Spanish Bourbons can
not be TOO particular
There are difficulties equally great In
the way of quartering the party of the Prin-
cess upon any private family in the city,
for although, no doubt. any house here
would be gladly placed at Eulalles's dis
posal by its owners. her chamberlain
might not be willing to take the quarters
thus vacated and be indebted for an ac-
comm odation TO some citizen Of the repub-
lie. Certainly the royal lady could not be,
In any event, the guest of private citizen.
being the guest of the nation. She cannot
stay out OF doors, of course. but what is to
be done with her Is q question.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-There Is at least
possibility that the Iufanta Eulalie of
Spain Will not visit the United States and

under the invitation of the President. The
matter was the subject of a conference to-
day between Secretary OF State Gresham
and Senior Muruaga, the Spanish Minister.
The latter stated that he had called in
consequence of the publication of tele-
gram from Madrid, ntimaling that the
Princess would abandon her trip to the
United States, and he veutured TO suggest
that until more definite information was
received none of the arrangements al
ready made for her reception and enter
tainment be changed or given up.
Senior Mgruaga said in further eonver-
sation regarding the Princess nlans that
her Hghuess was person Of quite delicate
constitution, and care for her health was
the first consideration. The Princess had

done for the Duke of Veragua and naturally
