transport Hancock and taken to the
Nuuanu cemetery in the valley
there to receive the soldier dead who
lost their lives in the service of the
United States army since the Spanish
war began.
Thirty-seven bodies will be exhumed
by the Burial Corps of the Army which
came on the transport. These men are
under the charge of Mr.. Rhodes. The
work VIII he done quickly as the Han
cock intends to sail for Guam and the
philippines on Thursday or Friday.
IL Is a peculiar and CHASTITY coinci-
dence that the soldiers who lay buried
In the cemeteries of Honolulu, should
In death resume their journey for the
seat of war in the Philippine Islands
for which service they were enlisted in
life. The transport will carry these
dead warriors on the long voyage to
Guam. gathering up number who
have laid down their lives in the little
Spanish Island, midway across the Pa
cific. and at Manila nearly 1900 bodies
will be taken aboard and all will then
be transported TO San Francisco.
Those bodies Of whom the former his
tory Is known and for which relatives
have sent requests to the Army Depart
ments, will be sent to whatever ad-
dress is on the records. Those who are
unknown. and who apparently have no
friends In the wide, wide world, will be
buried with military honors in the ma
tional cemetery at San Francisco.
In a little over two years thirty-seven
men belonging to all departments of the
Army and Navy have been Inferred In
Nuuanu and the Catholic cemetery.
Not all OF them died here. Some died
at sea and were brought here for
interment. Many of them were soldiers
who were brought ashore from the
transports TO the Army hospital, and
later died. Quite a large percentage
are OF men who belonged to the First
New York regiment. the Second U. s.
Volunteer Engineers. the detachments
OF the 18th Infantry. First Colorado and
First Nebraska Volunteers.
