More than two months ago. when it was
learned that the Detroit had been ordered
to BluefieldS to look alter the interests of
the American citizens resident there. La
fayette Post of New York requested Secre-
tary Long to permit Capt. Dayton to re-
ceive the remains of Gen. Daniel Macauley
on board at Greytown. for conveyance to
this city for interment at Arlington GEM
etery. the proper place of repose for brave
soldiers with the record of Macauley. Upon
obtaining the permission from the Secre-
tary of the Navy, Lafayette Post cabled to
one of its mem oers at Managua-and this
post has comrades all over the world-to
disinter the body and send it across the
fSthmuS to Greytown This was SyStemat-
iCdhy anu uOHe. TeSdTOleSS OF the
exces ;,ve charges for transportation and
casket i'll that country, and now, after five
years all that remains of the brave soldier
and companion lies at hand for military
burial and affectionate bestowal in the
beautiful cemetery. where a most desira-
BILE site has been assigned by the War De-
partment for the final resting place.
This event was preceded by a not very
remote one. when Lafayette Post brought
from the battlefield of San Juan, Santiago,
the remains of another of it's members
Capt. A. NJ. Wetherill-and inferred them
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 Balti-
more and Ohio railroad to Arlington as
guard TO the remains of the first Grand
Army soldier killed In the Spanish war
1t is especially gratifying to Mrs Macau-
ley that the fraternity of her late hus-
bands comrades has made it possible for
the desire of her heart TO be accomplis he'd
to have her husbands remains laid away
In the appropriate place in his own native
land
