BODIES on FALLEN rRooPs.

WASHINGTON, March 6,-rhe trans
port Roumania has reached Santiago
from San Juan With the bodies of $50
soldiers who died in Porto Rico. The
records OF the war department show that
about go were buried in the neighborhood
OF Santiago, and the work Of uncovering
them may take two or three weeks.
Most Of the Americans sleeping in
graves at Santiago are regulars. Quar-
termaster Ludington has the work in
hand, and reports satisfactory progress
being made. The graves Of the American
heroes were carefully marked at the
time Of burial and the officers in Cuba
and Porto Rico had instructions to make
II possible to locate and identify the
bodies.
The bodies will be forwarded to the
relatives II desired. The government
also offers to provide permanent burial
places with the 1900 other heroic dead
in the national cemetery at Arlington.
In most cases the relatives have accepted
the offer to have their dead laid to rest
with the army OF patriots at Arlington,
and it is probable that nearly 1000 Of the
bodies will be inferred in the national
cemetery within sight of the White
House. No arrangements have yet been
made for ceremonies in connection with
the burial. but 1t is probable that mill
tary honors will be paid the dead.
