Welcomed in Washington BY an In.
mense Crowd Of People.


WASHINGTON. May l9.--More than an
hour before the time for the arrival. this
evening, Of the train bearing Infanta EulA-
lie and suite, an immense crowd gathered
in the vicinity Of the railroad station. At
taehes of the Spanish legation were at the
station as early as = o'clock. Four troops
Of United States cavalry, under Col.
Henry, from Fort Myer. formed in long
line on the Sixth street side Of the station.
The special train arrived at $40. The
princess WAS assisted from the train by
Commander Davis, who presented Secre-
tsry Gresham As the representative of the
President.
Secretary Gresham offered his arm to the
princess, and preceded by Col. Wilson and
Il. A. Parke, general southern passenger
agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
followed by the lnfsnta's suite and others
of the official gathering. they walked down
the carpeted platform to the carriage en-
trance of the station.
The princess looked pleased as she saw
the large throng gathered TO receive her.
The lnfanta, Secretary Gresham, Senior
Muruga, the Spanish minister and Prince
Antoine entered the President's carriage.
the cavalrymen saluted, and the procession
began to move up Pennsylvania avenue
towards the Arlington.
Four bugiers on horseback led. and four
troops of cavalry, one of which was COM
posed of colored soldiers from the Fight
ing Ninth, formed the escort for the royal
party. Six sergeants of cavalry acted as
body guards TO the princess. and following
her carrisge came the carriages containing
her suit and members of the receiving
party. A. immense crowd lined both sides
of Pennsylvania avenue.
The apartments provided for the princess
and suite, though annexed to the hotel,
form separate house. 1t was the old res
idence of Charles Sumner, but a stones
throw from the White House. When the
head of the column of troopers came up to
the hotel, the cavalry wheeled into line,
coming to dress parade.
The princess alighted upon the arm Of
Gresham, followed by her hu.-
band and the Sanish minister. and entered
the Sumner annex. A loud cheer went up
from the crowd as the princess stepped to
the pavement.

cOMMcD0Re WALKERS PULL"
Probable That Admiral Gherardi Will Be Sent
to the Brooklyn Yard.

WAsuiSGroH. May l9.-There seems to
b. some probability that Commodore
Walker will be gratified, and that Rear
Admiral Gher,udi, instead of being ac-
cor!ed the honor OF promotion that he
vould receive it he were an officer of any
one of the foreign governments represented
m the naval review, will be refused the
in~iest request he has preferred to be re
taine,i in command of the North Atlantic
,guadron for another year, and will be sent
TO /, navy yard like hulk.
Commodore Walker is to go to navy
yard, too. lie will not mind a tour ashore,
if he can make people believe that his
pull is so well thought of in all admins
trstiuns that he could "downT Gherarii.
The trouble seems to be that some one is
afraid to appear to be doing something nice
for Ghersrdi: but nobody ever hesitates
about dong something nice for the man
with the pull Walker is rilling to 90
- the Bvstun Navy Yard if he can have
Gherarii sent to the New York yard.

WAsH'SGroN, May l9.-Secretary Her
bert has issued an order to bureau chiefs
which will result in work on ships in navy
yards being hurried along. The secretary
will not tolerate delays in effeeting repairs
on ships, and especially those which are
intended for foreign stations and now un-
dergoing attention at the New York and
Norfolk yards.
The necessity of sending ships to the
Pacific and South Atlantic stations. which
are depleted. as soon as they can be made
ready, has prompted the order to the chiefs
of bureaus, who are told to push work with
the utmost dispatch.
1t directs them to expedite work under
their control with all possible haste, being
careful, however, that no expenditure is TO
be involved except what is necessary or is
actually essential to the safety of the ships
and the health of the officers and men.
Secretary Herbert and the mayor of Bal
timore have decided not to have the ships
in the review feet at New York come to
Annapolis for the commencement exercises
of the naval cadets.
The secretary and mayor corresponded
on the subject and decided that it would be
unfair to the people of Baltimore, who pro-
posed entertaining the officers. TO have only
few vessels come around and take part in
display that must necessarily be small and
Insignificant in comparison with the demon
stration in Hampton Roads and New York.
1t is not believed that the two Russian
ships and the Italian cruisers will come now
that this government has abandoned the
purpose of sending our fleet.
james Gillis of Brooklyn, who is under
contract to construct the big 700-foot dry
dock at the New York navy yard, has OBJ
jected ID the terms of the department for
lengthening by 20 feet the dock as origin
ally proposed. The department decided t"
add the additional feet to the dock soon af
ter the lnman steamers were admitted to
American registry, so as to make it long
enough TO hold the largest ship afioat
Mr.. Gills asked $50 900 for the work,
but the secretary thought this was excessive
and cut it down just one-half, and told Mr..
Gillis to go ahead with the dock. Mr..
Gillis, however, still insists that he cannot
put the additional length to the dock for the
amount the government decided to pay
him, and has asked for reconsideration of
the matter. One of the payments is due
and will be held up pending settlement of
the question by the secretary.
The old monitor Nantucket, at New
York, will probably be turned over to the
Naval Beserve of North Carolina as drill
ship. The State has applied for some ves-
sci, and the Nantucket is the only available
vessel tn at can be turned over to it.

Proposed Subscriptions BY Business Interests
to Aid the Army eiii.

BERLIN, May Following the exam
pie of banking houses and leading tirms
connected with the Boerse in starting the
election fund for the support Of the army
bill, joint committee Of the iron and steel
industries of Germany has made the
remarkable proposal that part of the
expenditure required by the new army hill
be Voluntarily subscribed by the great in.
dnstrial, commercial and financial interests
of the country.
The committee calculates that the joint
stock companies Of the empire, represent
ing an annual aggregate profit Of 500 900
600 marks, would have no difficulty in sub
seribing the necessary credit, and that such
voluntary contributions would be less oner-
ols than the dangerous fluctuations caused
by the unsettled state Of public affairs con-
sequent upon the struggle between the
Kaiser and the Reichstag, should the latter
continue to reject the army bill.
