TO convey to our Governments head her
sOvereigns most kindly wishes. The recep-
ton in New York Harbor given to the Infanta
the representative of the Queen Regent Of
Spain to the Columbian Exposition, On her
arrival at port was decidedly informal, but it
was hearty and it was characteristically
American.
Spanish pleasure yacht which brought the
Infanta from Havana, Cuba. had oeen at
anchor all night outside the Hook, and at
o'clock the Spanish gunbOat 1nfantt Isabel
was alongside The United States dispatch
BOAT Dolphin, Commander Davis, who repre-
sented the Government in the reception Of
The Infanta down the bay, lay inside the
Hook waiting for the steamship to come up.
The vessels we're gaiy decorated with bunt-
ing. 1t was o'clock when the Cristina's
anchors were tripped and the start made
for Quarantine. where the Princess was to
De transferred to the 1nfanta Isabel. The
iRtter's guns gave nOsy salute as the steam
ship started and the refrain was taken up by
the Dolphin as the vessels approached.
The fleet arrived at Quarantine at 10 o'clock,
and after little maneuvering the vessels
dropped anchor, the Isabel taking up po-
sitiOn between the Dolphin and the Cristina.
As the Dolphins anchor went overheard gay
bunting broke out from every masthead and
guy. Then there followed scene of commo-
lion on the Cristina. Sailors ran up the rig
yinG and manned the yards her new barge
was swung from the davits, and to the
accompaniment of National salute
her party stepped into the barge:
The Infanta's private standard futtered
from the bow, the oars dropped into the
water, and in a twinkling the little craft,
trelghted with royalty, was alongside the
Spanish war ship, over which hung cloud
Of powder smoke. The Infanta was helped
1pon the port gangway, and closely followed
by her suite passed up the gayly draped ladder
and was formally received on deck. The
steamboat EmmOns. loaded with members of
New York Spanish societies. steamed around
the gunboat, and those aboard waved hand
Serchiefs and cheered until they were hOarSe.
The bands aboard the fleet struck up the Ma
sional Spanish anthem, AMI bronzed tars on
the Isabel manned the yards, as the 1nfanta
standard was thrown to the breeze.
Meanwhile the mahogany barge of the
Dolphin had been put af1oat and Command

h the stern sheets and was rOWed over to the
Isabel. He was escorted to the Captains
cabin. where the Infanta was installed,
and was presented to her by the Spanish Min
tster. The meeting was pleasant and devoid
Of fOrmality.
Then the Isabel turned her Prov up
stream. and did not stop until opposite the
Pennsylvania Railroad dock at Jersey City,
n. J. chorus of whistles went up from
the nearby steam craft, the Dolphin's
guns doomed. and from her main
mast head broke out a magnificent silk
royal purple standard. bearing in gold the
crest of the Infanta's family. This was
evidently a surprise to the visitors. The
oarge drew up alongside, and the Infanta
was helped out and transferred to the Dol
Phin. At the port gangway the marines and
sailOrs of the Dolphin were drawn up. In
the starbOard Gangway stood the officers of
The Dolphin, brilliant in their full dress uni
forms.
Commander Davis led the way to the
saloon, where the remainder of the royal
party were made known to the Dolphin's
officers. and then the visitors sat down to an
elaborate luncheon.
More than an hour was occupied at the
past. and it was not until 2 As o'clock that
the royal visitors embarked on the Pennsyl-
vania Company's tug Belvidere. For the third
time the guns doomed out a salute as the Prin-
cess and her party landed at the pier. and.

of blue coats.
The train consisted of four cars, IS follows ;
The composite car Premier, the dining ear
Magdalen. the parlOr car Felicia and the
special observation car Wildwood. The lat
ter, which was the last In the tram, was Tor
the especial use of the Infanta and her hus
band. 1t is the handsomest il the possession
of the Pennsylvania road.
Just before the train started EulaIia
appeared on the rear platform of the last
car. her face wreathed in smiles. The
crowd grew wild when she bowed to
them again and catching the spirit of the
moment the Princess snook ner nand-
kerchief vigorously, and as the din grew
greater began to throw kisses right and left
blushing like a schoolgirl. The run to Wash
ington was quite one. the Infanta and suite
arriving there at 30. Tbeyt they were met by
Secretary Gresham, on behalf the President.
The Infanta, Secretary Gresham Minister
Muruga and Prince Antonio entered the
Presidents carriage, the caIalrymen saluted
and the procession began to move up Penn

-Four buglers on horseback led, and with
the four troops of cavalry, one of which was
composed of colored soldiers from the
