FLOWERY BOAT SUNK
in MEMORY OF dead
Naval Camp Of Spanish-Ameriean
War Veterans Hold Memo
rial Services.
TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD

Honor was paid the memory of the
sailors of the American Navy who lost
their lives in the Spanish-American war
by the surviving comrades of the Dewey
Naval Camp of the United Spanish War
Veterans yesterday afternoon at the
Washington Barracks.
The ceremonies were most solemn and
impressive. A huge floral vessel, in the
form of a bunboat, was towed to mid
stream of the Potomac by the govern
ment tender and cast adrift. With barred
heads and amid a death-like silence the
hundred of comrades and friends of the
dead heroes, who lined the shore, watched
this silent token of their esteem
slowly drift down stream. AS planned.
when about directly opposite the scene
OF the ceremonies, the flower boat was
seen TO WAIVER in its course, and slowly
begin to sink. 1t was not until the green
smokestacks had entirely disappeared
under the silent waters of the river that
the stiffness of those on the bank was
broken.
The floral boat in its slow course down
the river was a beautiful sight TO see. Its
sides were lined with thousands of vari-
colored blooms entwined by the hands o:
their surviving comrades. Its smoke
stacks were of green vines and from a
pennant at the bow futtered the in
scription, In memory of those whose
bodies could not be brought back to
America for burial
Another impressive feature of the cere-
monies was the reading of the naval
camp ritualistic service, which attends thu
burial of a man at sea. The services
were read by the chaplain of the Dewes
Naval Camp.
Representatives Kinkaid of New Jersey,
and Oliver Phelps paid a glowing tribute
to those who sacrificed their lives in the
cause of their country. They declared
that to them belonged the countrys graft
tude. and that no recognition of their
services would repay the loss of a single
life.
Jere a. Costello. department commander.
made arrangements for the holding OF
the memorial services. Dewey Naval
Camp had entire charge Of the launching
