New YORK., May I9.-Ihe Inianta
Eulaie the official and personal repre-
sentative of Queen Regent Christina Of
Spain, arrived at the port Of New York
to-day, and for the first time in many
years the United States entertains off
cially member of the royal reigning
families of Europe.
Soon after dawn this morning the
Dolphin, preceded by the Spanish war
ship Infanta Islbel, steamed down to
Sandy Hook and there found the Span.
ish steamer Reina Maria Christina
bearing the distinguished guests, lying
at anchor. The Infanta Isabel fired a
royal salute after the arrangement Of
the official details. Then the vessels,
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, hosted anchors and steamed
up the bay.
AS the start was made the Dolphin
swung around in the lead and the
American and Spanish national Coors
were broken to the breeze at the mast
heads and national salute Of twenty
one guns began to boom out At
Quarantine the vessel dropped anchor
and in few moments a commotion
was visible on the Christina. Her
barge dropped into the water, sailors
manned the yards and to the accom-
paniment of a national salute, Infanta
Eulalie and party stepped into the
barge Princess. A private standard
nuttered in the bow and the little craft
danced along toward the Spanish war
ship. The passage was made in safety
and the guests were formally received
on the deck of the Infanta Isabel.
The steamer Emmons, loaded with
the Spanish societies of New York,
sailed gayly around the fleet, playing
the national Spanish air Meantime
the barge of the Dolphin was put ahoat
and commander Davis, in full dress
uniform, rowed over to the Isabel He
was Immediately escorted to the cap
tain's cabin where the Infanta was in
stalled and presented to the Princess
by the Spanish Minister. The meeting
was pleasant and as devoid of formality
as such meetings can be- Commander
Davis, in a few well chosen words,
welcomed the Infanta to the United
States in the name of the President
The Infanta responded in simple and
unaffected language, expressing great
qualification at the opportunity which
was offered her
Then the Isabel turned her prov up
stream and never stopped till anchor
was dropped off the Pennsylvania Rail
road dock in North river. AT a quarter
to one the yards of the Isabel were
manned again, and the Dolphin's barge
slipped through the water, and this
time it returned freighted With royalty.
A chorus of whistles went up from near
by the steam craft. The Dolphin's
guns doomed, and from the mainmast
head broke out magnificent silk royal,
purple standard bearing in gold the
crest of the Infanta'S family.
The barge drew up alongside, and
the Infanta was helped out by Lieuten-
ant Badger The marines and sailors
were drawn up in nautical array, and
the officers stood about, brilliant in
ful-dresS uniforms The Infanta
reached the top of the gangway, stopped
and stood silently for a minute looking
at the scene. Then a smile of appro-
baton and pleasure lighted up her
face. She extended her hand to the
nearest officer, and for few moments
engaged in animated conversation with
the naval contingent.
Commander Davis soon led the way
to the saloon where the remainder Of
the royal party were made known to the
Dolphils officers, and then the visitors
sat down to an elaborate luncheon.
More than an hour was occupied in
consumption of the repast, and it was
not until ego O'Clock that the royal
visitors embarked again, this time in a
tug, and steamed for the Adams Elk
press pier adjoining the Pennsylvania
Railroad dock. For the third time the
Dolphin's guns belched forth twenty
one times and the royal standard was
dropped. The party landed and was
taken directly to the train, which pulled
out of the depot at 3:o5 o'clock amid
the cheers of the SDeCtatOrS
