the graves can be dug for them.
Owing to the existence of a civil law In
Porto Rico forbidding the examination of
remains until three years have elapsed after
burial, the quartermasters department has
been obliged to defer the matter of bring
ing home for shipment at public expense to
the homes Of relatives, or for burial at Ar
lington, the remains Of officers, soldiers
have died or were killed on that island.
