Immediately following the Memorial Service the remains of the men recently recovered from the wreck of the MAINE will be conveyed in funeral procession to the Arlington National Cemetery and there interred with full military honors.

In testimony of the respect in which the Government and people of the United States hold the memory of those who lost their lives in the MAINE, I do hereby direct that the flags on the White House and the several departmental buildings in Washington be displayed at half-staff from 9 o'clock a. m., until 4:30 o'clock p. m., on March 23rd, 1912; and that suitable military and naval honors, under the orders of the Secretaries of War and of the Navy, be rendered on that day.
