THE NAvY'S DEAD.
Resting Places of Bluejackets In
Many Lands-Durial Regulations.

many Lanus-buriai Regulations.
The navy's dead will not be forgotten on
Memorial day. In the numerous ports all
over the world where officers and men
have found their final resting places me-
mortal services will be observed by the
companies of any United States men-of-
war that may be in the harbors If they
are unfortunately distant from points
where the graves of the navy's dead arc To-
Gated, then the diplomatic and consular
representatives Of this government will
probably place flowers, on the tombs to
show that the government of the United
States remembers its servants.
The burial of naval officers and men Of
the United States service In foreign lands
naturally began with the appearance of
the American navy on the seas. The rec
ords of the navy show the first instance Of
the interment Of Americans abroad to have
occurred at Port Mahon, in the Mediter-
ranean, where the remains of the victims
of the Tripolitan war were taken and
buried with solemn ceremonies. Years
afterward Port Mahon was abandoned,
and the bodies of those who die in navy
ships on the European station are now
taken to Spezia, Italy, where they are in
TERED in the foreign portion of the ceme-
terry located there.
With the assignment of ships to the four
quarters of the globe the need of cemeter-
les grows. In the east one can find Ameri-
can naval dead at Yokohama, Japan; at
Chemulpo, Korea; at Hongkong China,
and at other points along the Chinese
coast In South America Rio de Janeiro
or Montevideo is usually selected as the
burial place for navy dead. Any deaths
that may occur in south Pacific waters are
followed by the interment of the remains
on shore wherever the ship may happen to
be at the time. There is a permanent sta
tion for one ship of the service at Sitl;a,
Alaska, and a cemetery there is occupied by
the remains of number of officers and
men who have expired while on duty at
that station.
The regulations of the government serv-
ice prescribe no rigid observance of Memo
rial day. 1t is generally observed, how
ever, as a national holiday not only 10y
all the ships of the service, but by the
naval forces in all the navy yards In tho
country. At the latter places the lGg is
expected TO be at half mast until ~
o'clock midday, when it is hoisted to the
top of the flagstaff.
1t is usual Tor the Grand Army posts in
the different cities near navy yards to aid
in making green the graves of those buried
in the naval cemeteries. -Cincinnati En-
