COLONEL HAY ‘WBLGOMED. New Embassador Hvui'tily Greeted on Landing at Southampton. Scuthamptdn, April 22.——The Ameri- can line steamship St. Paul, with Colo- nel John Hay, the new United States embassadpr, on board, arrived here to- day, having had a smooth and pleas- ant pass-age throughout. A large number of distinguished per— enns were assembled on the wharf to meet the newembassador. Among them were the mayor and corporation of Southampton and a. deputation of mem- bers of the Southampton chamber of commerce. Mr. W. S. Kinkead, United States consul at Southampton, intro- duced Colonel Hay tothe party, and the mayor delivered an address of wel- come of the heartiest character, ending his remarks with lines from Colonel Hay’s verse, “Once More Hail Eng- land.” President Harper of the chamber of commerce followed the mayor in 'a speech in which he expressed the hope that Colonel Hay's mission would draw still closer the fraternal bonds between the two English speaking countries. Colonel Hay, in replying to the ad- dress of welcome, said‘that he was un- able to express adequately his gratifi- cation and pleasure at his reception. He was greatly touched, he said, by the kind though unmerited compliment which had been paid to him and could only regard it as a manifestation of kindly feeling toward the country he represented. From that-point of View it was infinitely pleasanter to him than personal civility to himself. Colonel Hay continued by saying that he had come to work to the best of his ability for the interest and welfare of his own country, but it was the pro- found conviction of the president and people of the United States that those interests and welfare would be best served by the promotion of the most cordial and friendly entente between England and America. There were many things, he said, in which he would not attempt to compete with his distinguished predecessor, but he would challenge comparison with him in the hearty good will which he would bring into his work. He was not a. stranger to English hospitality. In the course of former visits to Eng- land he had learned to appreciate her warm hearts and liberal hands and he was glad to be assured of welcome not less warm upon this occasion. He brought to the people of England, he said in conclusion, the cordial and af- fectionate greetings of millions of their kindred beyond the: see 5. Colonel Hay’s remarks were received with prolonged cheering. ZARRAGA’S PLAIET‘I'. The Surrendercd Cuban Leader Asks to Be Sent to Spain.
