Holland Is Re-
ioicing.

THE HAGUE. April Wilhelmina.

to daughter early today. The condi-
tion of her majesty is satisfactory, the
infant princess is doing well, and Hol-
land is celebrating the happy event
from one end of the country to the
other with expressions of joy such as
seldom have been witnessed among this

Here in the capital, In spite of the
heavy downpour of rain, the streets
are gaily decorated and great crowds
are evidencing their qualification.
General Rejoicing.
Owing to the early hour of the birth
the contemplated salute was not fired.
and the first persons outside the royal
palace to hear the news was a party
OF workmen passing the residence of
the Queen on their way to work. The
cheers they raised were the signal for
the general rejoicings. Flags and
bunting that had been held in readi-
ness were unfurled, and the city took
on holiday attire
Prince Henry ct once telegraphed his
mother advising her of the happy event,
ard adding that the condition OF the
Queen was most satisfactory.
Heralds, accompanied by trumpeters
clad in ancient Dutch dress, made the
rounds of the city, halting at the prin-
cipal squares and other suitable spots
TO make, after due fanfares, the follow
ing proclamation:
OmciaI Proclamation.
Fellow Citizens: With great joy
we announce the news that her
majesty. by the grace of God. has
been delivered of a princess.
The entire population of The
Hague shares the feelings of the
people. and is thankful for the
blessing bestowed upon the royal
house and upon the country. MAY

bonds uniting the Netherlands and

the greater portion OF this section no
masonry now remains, but there are
massive towers of earthen core. ! am

known as the great wall of China.
