Memorial Services Directed by
The G. A. R. Veterans.
PROCESSION TO The CEMETERY
Form alton Of the Column Graves
Read-Craticn Of the Day.

with appropriate exercises Memo
rial Day was observed in Honolulu.
The old veterans joined hands with
the young soldiers of the Republic in
paying fond tribute to the dead. With
beautiful blossoms they decked the
graves of the heroes of the great
struggle. Nowhere throughout the
United States was more fitting tribute
bestowed than in Honolulu. The pro-
cessions may have been larger, and
the exercises more elaborate, but no
where was there a deeper feeling of
reverence and love and a better un-
derstanding of the true meaning Of
Decoration Day.
The celebration was held under the
auspices of George w. de Long Post,
G.. A. r. The program was brief, but
every number was well delivered. The
procession was not so large as has
marked the day in previous years. 1t
was well conducted and the day was
not marred by a single untoward Incl
dent.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the different
bodies who were to take part in the
procession began to arrive at the start
ing point, Alakea and King streets.
They were assigned positions by DR..
n B. Emerson, the grand marshal.
The fiuttering flags and the music of
the bands gave spirit to the occasion.
At 2:30 o'clock the column began to
move up Alakea street to Emma, to
Vineyard, to Fort, to School, to Nuu-
anu, to the cemetery.
Two Of the mounted police rode
ahead and cleared the way. Immedi-
ately behind them was the Kameha-
meha band, the members looking neat
and natty in their uniforms of gray.
After them came the sixteen-file
front from Battery l of the Sixth Ar
tlllery The men were commanded by
Sergt. Shell, and marched with the
precision of the trained soldier.
The stalwart sailors Of the Iroquois,
in the marine service uniform, were
next in line, and showed up well.
Col Jones and staff, mounted, of the
n. c. H, followed. After them came
the Government band discoursing mel
ody.
The two battalions of the National
Guard led by Maj. Ziegler and Maj.
Camara were next in order. All the
companies turned out Wen and made
one of the best showings OF any Of the
bodies in the procession.
Members of the George W. de Long
Post, G. A. r., followed in carriages
After them came President Dole and
Minister Mott-Smith, accompanied by
Col. Soper and Maj. Potter.
Citizens in carriages and on foot
brought up the rear.
Upon arriving at the entrance Of the
cemetery the soldiery opened ranks
for the G. A. r. and the President and
staff The column then marched
the cemetery to the little plot
where reposed the remains of those
those who died here after having TAX
en- part in the nations great struggle.
On all sides the various graves
showed the touches of loving hands.
Beautiful flowers of all kinds formed
into designs of loveliness, were placed
in profusion over the grassy mounds.
The G.. A. r. plot had been prepared
for the services. A stand had been
erected for the speakers and distin-
guished guests, and seats had been ar
ranged for the veterans
The program was as follows:

In the Hospital.

Leo, the native who was injured by
a premature explosion of giant powder
on the KOolau side of the island, was
received in the hospital yesterday.
His injuries, though severe, will not
prove fatal. In moving him he was
conveyed in chair by friends to the
top Of the Pail, from which place a
rig brought him to the hospital.

GOVERNMENT OF PORTO RICO.
Arrangements to BE Made to Give
Citizens a Part In 1t.


Washington, Sept 12-The cabinet meet
ing to-day was occupied in the discussion
OF form of civil government for Porto
Rico This matter has been under serious
consideration ever since Secretary Root
took his place as Secretary of War and
local government will be decided upon and
put into operation within the next few
weeks al the fartherest.
The details of the proposed plan have
not vet been made public, but it is under
stood that it involves the appointment of
a civil government by the President and
also the appointment of the chiefs of the
several great departments of the govern
ment which would include a chief of the
financial department, director of posts
and probably two or three others
In addition, the President will appoint
from the leading citizens of the islands
d certain number to act in a legislative
capacity with the civil governor and the
members of his staff. These will be au-
thorlzed to recommend any changes that
may be thought necessary in the existing
laws and to suggest such others as in
their judgment may be deemed best.
1t is not intended that this form of gov
eminent will continue beyond the time
Congress may see fit to legislate on the
subject, but it is the purpose of the Press
dent to give the Porto Ricans some voice
IN their own government pending such
action. Although the governor general
and the members of his council will exer-
else general supervision over the enforce
ment' of any laws that may receive The
approval of the President, those relating
to municipal matters will be left largely
in the hand of the citizens. They will
be permitted to administer their own at
fairs subject always 10 the veto power

whether the question of the permanent
