Mere than two months ago. when ii was
learned that the Detroit had been ordered
TO Bluefields to look after the interests of
the American citizens resident there, La
fayette Post of New York. requested Sec
retary Long to permit Captain Dayton to
receive the remains OF Gen. Daniel Mac
auley ON board at Greytown, for COLI
yeyance to this city for interment at Ar
lington Cemetery. the proper place of re-
pose for brave soldiers with the record
of Maeauley. Upon obtaining the permis-
sion from the Secretary of the Navy. La
fayette Post cabled to one CT their COM
rades at Managua to disnter the body and
send it across the isthmus to Greytown.
This was Systematically and promptly
done. regardless of the excessive charges
for transportation and casket in that coun-
try, and now, after five years, all that re-
mains of the brave soldier and beloved
companion lies at hand for military
burial and afectionate bestowal in the
beautiful cemetery, where a most desir-
able site has been assigned by the War
Department for the final resting place of
the dead soldier.
On former occasion, Lafayette Post
brought from the battlefield -of San Juan,
Santiago, the remains of another of their
members-Capt. a. NJ. Witherell-and
buried him at Arlington after full service
at Trinity Church. in New York city AT
that time some fifty members of that
patriotic and famous post came over from
New York and marched from the depot
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to
Arlington, as a guard to the remains of
the first Grand Army soldier killed in the
Spanish war.
1t is especially gratifying to Mrs. Mac
auley that the fraternity of her late hus-
bands comrades has made it possible for
the desire of her heart to be accomplish
ed-to have her husbands remains laid
away in the appropriate place obtained in
his own native land.
