The Infanta EulalIe Explains Her Conduct
ut Chicago.
The Spanish infanta. Princess Eulalie. has
found it necessary to deny the reports printed !
in some western newspapers that she had
snubbed various persons while at Chicago.
The statement appeared in Yesterdays New
York Herald. The Duke of Tamames her high ,
chamberlain, vas her mouthpiece.
Il wish to say on behalf Of the princess that /
she was taken by surprise when she read the |
comments upon her personal conduct in the |
Chicago press said the duke. Up to the mo-
ment when she these articles the princess |
had not received the slightest intimation that
she had given any cause for unfavorabe criti- !
cism in any part of the United States.
when she returns from her stroll she will
speak to Won with her own lips, but in the mean
time shall make a statement in her name and
you can quote my words as If she were here IN
person."
The duke spoke earnestly and seemed to be
deeply touched. / told him there was an i'm
preston abroad that the infanta had attempted
to snub Mrs. Potter Palmer because her hus-
band was the owner OF the hotel in which the
princess stayed and that she had not taken
Pains to conceal her contempt for the people Of
Chicago
AMERICAN HOSPITALITY APPRECIATED
This is simply absurd" said the duke 1.-The
princess greatly admires Mrs. Palmer and is
very grateful to tie people of Chicago for their
warm hearted hospitality. We have all done
everything in our power since we landed IN
this country to show how much we appreciated
the kindness, not only of the government and
Of the ladies and gentlemen who personally
contributed to our comfort and happiness, but
of the crowds in the streets.
Had the princess been in her own country
she could not have been received with greater
marks OF respect and friendship. Our hearts
are overflowing with thankfulness TO the Ameri-
can people. We have been eager to tell how
much we admire this great nation, the strength
of character of its citizens and the true courtesy
displayed by everybody we have met
