WITH HIGH HONORS.
Plans for the Pauncefote 0bse-
sequies are Elaborate.

Washington, May Git is evident
from the preparations so FAR made
that the funeral of the late Lord
Pauncefote will be conducted with
great dignity and will be made a mem
orable occasion. All of the available
military and naval forces in Washing
ton and vicinity will take part in the
procession. The services at st. Johns
church will be conducted by Coadjutor
Bishop Mackay-Smith, though Bishop
Satterlee will attend. Owing to the
small size of the church it will be nee
essary to restrict the admissions
which will be by card alone. Officially
the attendance will be confined to the
president and his cabinet, the diplo-
matte body, the supreme court, the
members of the senate committee on
foreign relations and the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs, Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Miles and their STATS,
the bureau chiefs of the state depart
menf and the assistant secretaries
from the other departments.
Later in the day Secretary Root is
sued an order placing Maj. Gen. S. b.
NJ. Young in charge of the military ar
engagements of the funeral. 1t was
also decided that an equal number of
army and naval offiSrs shall act as
ushers at the church, With Maj. McCaw-
lev, of the marine corps, in charge. An
equal number of enlisted men from the
army and navy viii act as body bear
ers. 1t was ordered that Lieut. Gen.
Miles, commanding the army, and the
heads of all the staff departments of
the army attend the funeral in uni
form. and a similar order was issued
with respect to Admiral Dewey and the
heads of the bureaus of the navy de-
partment. These officers will be the
official representatives of the army
and navy. The funeral escort will con-
sist of a squadron of cavalry from Fort
Myer, a battalion of engineers (march-
ing as infantry from Washington Bar
racks, a battery of artillery from Fort
Myer and a battalion of marines from
local posts.
Specinl Service. .
A special funeral service over the
remains of the late Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, will be held
at the embassy this morning at IL
o'clock. This is intended for the fam
ily only, and the attendance will be
limited to them and to the staff of
the embassy. DR.. Mackay7Smith, the
coadiutor of the diocese of Philadel-
phia, and formerly the pastor of st.
Johns Episcopal church, where the
ambassador worshiped, will conduct
the services. Bishop Satterlee also
will be present and may assist Or.
Smith.
Funeral Ship to Ell American.
It is p=etty well settled that the re-
mains of the late Lord Pauncefote will
be carried to England on an American
warship, and either the Olympia, flag
ship of the North Atlantic squadron
and Dewey's flagship at Manila, or the
Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's flagship at
Santiago bay, which is just returning
from Cuba, will be selected for this
duty. The date of departure will de-
pend upon the convenience of the
Pauncefote family, but it is certain
that the casket cannot be landed on
English soil before the conclusion OF
the coronation ceremonies.
