A NATIONAL CEMETERY.
Facts About Burisls in Arlington Little
of the Space Occupied.

Though one-tenth Of the available
space in the Arlington national GEM
etery will probably never be occupied
by grave sites" explained one Of the
officials Of the cemetery to a Washing
ton Star reporter, cit is surprising
how many have been buried there in
late years outside of those who came
in in consequence of the Spanish
American war. When the cemetery
was laid out the Spanish war wac not
anticipated, but when the burials in
connection Herewith began it was
soon found out that there would be a
number, and special site was selected
for them. Outside Of the latter the
rest Of the cemetery is occupied main
~ by those who died in connection
with the civil war. Congress by Civ
ing the right to nurses who served
during the civil war increased very
considerably the number Of grave
sites that have to be provided for.
The old veterans are steadily coming
into their last homes. gradually find
ing their way there, and there is
scarcely day that one or more burials
do not take place. Indeed. for the
past two or three months three or four
each day have had TO be provided for
1t may not be generally known that
veterans are allowed TO select their
own grave sites. but such is the fact.
and already there are several hundred
grave sites selected. A. a rule. the
old veterans, for they are old now. Sc
lect sites near where their acquaint-
ances rest. Outside Of those who die
in this city there are numbers who
come from other sections. The books
show large number Of sites that have
been selected by officers Of distinc-
ton. Many Of these are in what is
popularity called the new section,
though it Is not newer in any sense
than any other part. Gen. Miles has
selected a site for himself and has fire.
quently visited it. Around him will
be the graves Of a number Of those
who served with him. In the ordi-
nary course Of things almost all the
veterans Of the civil war will be buried
inside Of the next ten or Is years.
though a few may be fortunate
enough to extend their time a few
years further. OF course. all the vet
Grams Of the civil war will not be
buried at Arlington. but it is safe to
say that majority Of the officers who
are still in the army and navy will
eventually come there. There are
about 1880 graves at Arlington
now, and if necessity arose 100000
could be buried there"
