This is because the Government fears the spread
of contagious disease should the bodies De gwen 70
relatives. The bodies now are IN Hleld. tibHt
cofins but there can be no certainty that these
collins would not be opened by relatives once they
were taken out OF the control Of the authorities.
The identified bodies buried in Arlington under
this order may be taken up next winter, however
II relatives desire IL.
Tho bodies Of those soldiers who died IN Porto
Pico are not thought TO be dangerous, and do not
come under this latest regulation. The bodies of
the marines are exempted also. because they will
be buried in Brooklyn being all the while in
charge of the naval authorities. The body Of John
f. OConner, Company X. list New-York Infantry,
was also exempted. by special order, and was
turned over 10 Colonel Homer.
