GENERAL NETTLETON'S EFFORT
ROUSES WAR DEPARTMENT
Skeletons of American Soldiers Who
Served Under Taylor, Now Bleach
ing at Point Isabel to be Placed in
National Cemetery at Brownsville.

Washington, d. c., Feb 3.-The
fact that the skeletons of number
of soldiers of General Taylor's army,
who died and were buried near Point
Isabel near the beginning of the Mex
lean war in 1S47, had never been re-
moved, and are now exposed to the
view by reason of the washing away
of the embankment under which they
were buried. has been called to the
attention of President Roosevelt, by
Gen A. B. Nettleton, o. S. A., re-
tired, who is now at Brownsville 1t
is learned that there were about 1870
soldiers under Gen. Taylor who eth
er died of disease while eneamped
at Point Isabel, or were killed in
battle or skirmish near there, their
bodies having been inferred under
some breastworkS which had been
erected by the army These bodies,
it seems, were never removed, and
the report now received is to the effect
that the bones have been exposed
by the gradual washing away of the
embankment, being exposed to sun
and rain, and that even vandal relic
hunters have been carrying away the
bones, which they had dug or raked
out of the loose earth It is not I'M
derstood just why these remains
were not removed to the National
Cemetery at Brownsville, as the war
department had contracted for the
removal and interment of the bodies
of all soldiers who had fallen in bat
tie or died in that section surround
ing Brownsville, and their interment
in the National cemetery These
bodies were undoubtedly accidentally
overlooked.
President Roosevelt at once re-
ferred General Nettleton's letter to
the war department, and the matter
will be attended to as it should be-

removal of the remains to the Gene

the Taft machine made a speed Of forty
