weekly Report Of Gen. Grants DOCTORS.
The New York Medical Record Of Last Sat-
Sarday says: The physical condition Of Con
Grant has markedly improved during the past
week. There is no authority for the statement
that his physicians at any time prognos
tticated speedy death, or did not give the most
encouraging reports. It has been charged that
the physicians were suppressing all reference to
graver symptoms. The bulletins which have
been issued at the request of the family. of Gen.
Grant, and in answer to the demands of the
press, have been simply bare statements OF the
exact condition at the time without theories or
comments The medical staff has always main
tanned that tbeSamouns OF general constitutional
depression was out Of proportion to tho extent
Of the local disease; that the latter would not
of itself be the cause of death unless
by accidental erasion Of q large artery, or
possible strangulation from the sudden sepa-
ration of the slough. At one time only did death
seem imminent from exhaustion and threatened
heart failure, and but for timely assistance
would probably have" occurred. The general
has never been In any danger from choking.
and the only hemorrage which occurred was Of
slight extent and closed ofitself. Gen Grant is
now stronger. 1t was what mighthace been ex-
pected, and all treatment has been directed to
that end The slongh has nearly separated
from the throat and a source of immediate
danger has been improved, but the throat dis.
ease is still there, although for the present it
is qulescent There has not been the slightest
disagreement in regard to the management of
the case. The microscopic examination Of the
specimen removed from Gen. Grants throat
has disclosed the disease 70 be epitholoma.

B Parrott the Guatemalan consul of this
city, who returned here on the steamer Gre
NADIA from Guntamala The engagement IN
which Barrios was killed was between one
battalion of the Guatemalan troops and amuch
larger body Of San salvadoreaus. Barrios
gave the order to attack, but no advance
movement had been made, as the troops were
under command of an unpopular officer, and
refused to obey hin. Barrios was in his tent
with two of his officers when this information
was brought to him. On the refusalsof both
these officers to assume command he left the
tent and while proceeding to the front of the
column he was intending to lead he was shot
by a sharpshooter from q tree. The bullet en-
tered his right shoulder, passed through his
heart and out through the left side Mean
