QUEER STORY PROM MADRID YOING 31 A WHO CLAIMS TO II C A MIX OF A SACKVILLE.' Marriage Register Alleged to Have Reen Tnmpercd "With Black Soldiers Devoured. PORTSMOUTH. England, Nov. 1. Today's naval pageant ia honor of the return of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York was almost a reproduction cf the ceremonial attending their departure. The town was astir early. Early crowds assembled along the sea front and rounds of chcera mingled with the national anthem and salute3 from the harbor ships and land batteries as the royal yacht Victoria and Albrt steamed to meet the Ophlr. On board the royal yacht the King, in the undress uniform of an admiral, stood on the after bridge at the salute, while the Queen and the children and the duke and duchess paradcl the hurricane deck. The roads presented a striking spectacle owing to thu jcreat gathering of warships, dressed from stem to stem, and with their yards manned and their sides lined with their crews. Nelson's old flagship, the Victory, started the salute to their Majesties, and each ship in turn took it up as the Victoria and Albert moved down the Solent, accompanied by a flotilla of older royal yachts' Off Yarmouth, Isie of Wight, the Victoria and Albert and the Ophir met and exchanged signals of greeting. At about 2 o'clock the booming of distant guns announced the approach of the royal vessels and the naval procession soon hove in Mght. with th? Tiinity House yacht Irene acting as pilot. She was followed by the Victoria and Albert, the Ophir and two ironclads. Guns were fired, bands played and crowds cheered as the vessels passed down the lines of the fleet. As the Victoria and Albert neared the harbor the troops ashore presented arms and the garrison battery tired a final salute. The band?? everywhere struck up "God Save the King." and thousands of bluejackets on board the ships in the harbor repeatedly cheered the royal party. The demonstrations were renewed as the Ophir entered, her band playing "Home. Sweet Home." The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York occupied a conspicuous position on the tipper deck of the yacht, respectively saluting and bowing in response to the demonstrations of the thousands of people lining the harbor. Immediately after the Victoria and Albert and the Ophir were moored at the jetty the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York joined their Majesties and the children on board the former yacht. The children of the duke and duchess met the latter at the gangway with Joyful exuberance, and they entered the saloon of the yacht, where the King and Queen greeted them affectionately. 3Jnd Dutchman Arrested.
