 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T. - Funeral services for Admiral Dewey, giving fitting expression to the nations af- >fection and sorrow and bestowing the highest public honors that can be given q national hero, were planned today by officials of the federal gov ernment
 It was decided to hold the public ceremonies Saturday in the rotunda of the capitol, and to bring to Washington for an escort of honor all available forces of both the naval and military arms of the service. Congress will be in recess during the funeral, and under an order by Pres ident Wilson the government depart- ments will remain closed during the entire day.
 The president sent a special message Ito congress today announcing the death of the aged Spanish war hero and declaring that the people and the government will always rejoice to per petuate his name in honor and affec- tion." Both senate and house adopted resolutions of regret, appointed com- mittees to represent them at the fun eral, and adjourned before the usual hour to emphasize their expressions of regret
 Under the presidents order, flags on all government buildings, forts, and ''aval vessels throughout the world will fly at half mast until after the fu- neral ceremonies In a sepayate order, Secretary Daniels directed that the na- " department building here be draped in black. and that all officers of the navy and marine corps wear mourning with their uniforms for thirty days. al for ship afloat to fire an admiral's salute of nineteen guns at noon on Saturday.
