Cristoforo Colombo arrived outside this
morning and anchored off Hotel Del Coro-
nado. The Prince. Consul General
Grimaldi of San Francisco and several of
the officers of the warship came ashore
and called on Mayor Carlson, but the
Mayor was then on his way to the Co.
lombo. Prince Luigi and his companions
were driven about the city for an hour or
SO by prominent Italians. and then re-
turned to the ship. Consul Grimaldi left
for San Francisco.
NJ ayor Carlson was cordially received by
Captain Bertolini of the warship, and a
hearty invitation was extended to come
into the harbor. Captain Bertolini re-
sponded that such had been his intention,
but the startling news from Italy had
caused the deepest grief on board his
vessel and it was his personal wish, as well
as that Of the prince and other officers, to
avoid any public demonstrations or inter-
change of courtesles while their country
was mourning the death of her soldiers
For that reason, he said, he was going
home as fast az possible and he had de-
cided not to come inside, as courtesy
would require that he make stop of a
week at least in order to pay his respects
to Rear Admiral Reardslee, the civil and
military authorities, and the Italian
colony.
The Colombo sailed at o'clock tonight,
turning her nose directly southwark. She
will stop at Acapulco for coal and then
proceed to Callao, where she will rem ain
a week or more. The return to Italy will
