A Letter From Capt. ]. J.. Fulkerson.
CHICKAMAUGA PARK, GAL
July IL. lsQS

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, GAL
July IL, 1885,
Editor lntelllgeneer:
l desire, through the columns Of your
paper, to thank the generous gentlemen
of Lexington and vicinity who contrib
uted the well selected and ample assOrt-
ment of medicines, and forwarded ex-
press prepaid, to Company Ak of this
regiment. Want to assure the contrib
utOrs that they could have sent nothing
that would have come more OPPORTUNITY
or been more appreciated by the boys,
not only from old Lafayette but by
many of the officers and men from other
companies in the regiment, and even a
few in other regiments who will come
to us for medicine, treatment. etc.
You know that a soldier, especially
a Missouri soldier, and more especially
if from old Lafayette, never has any
thing that he will not divide with a
comrade. Hence, owing to the fact that
the government assortment of drugs at
the hospitals is rather scanty and also
that men have a natural dread OF hos
pitfalls, they are willing TO take the des-
perate chances Of being treated by an
army captain in camp rather than NY
to the other evil they know not of" an
army surgeon in the hospital; hence
they come to me and | give them the
+, medicine, never forgetting to acquaint
, them with the goodness and generosity
of the citizens of old Lexington in pro-
: viding us with the means Of doing good
or evil as the case may be.
Wish to say of the boys from old
: Lafayette, from the captain on down
the line, that since leaving home, with
a but three or four exceptions, their health
has been perfect, save the minor troubles
incident to a mans first introduction t.
camp life. More willing, apt, ready and
,r joyial soldiers, the captain excepted
IS never donned military uniforms thar
,e the members of Company "K."
Lieut.. Kenneth W. Carter has jus
recovered from an attack Of appendicitis
and is nov r%ecuperating at the farm
" house of an elegant old southern lad.
a. near Chattanooga, Tenn. VIM. Drum
mond suffered several days with malaria
We trouble, but is now quite well. Georg
Steele is now in Chattanooga, Tenn,
ig recovering from malarial fever wit
typhoid complications, and with thes
DIS exceptions my boys have been well an
well satisfied. They are impatient o
account of not yet having been ordere
to the front, but live in hopes of bein
,y ordered daily. Very respectfully,
J.. j.. FULKERsoN.

A CRITICAL Time
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes, Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
Z. e. Butler, of pack-train No 8.
writing from Santiago de Cuba on July
23rd, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, hut
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, l sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front There were no
roads that wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in a supply of this medicine
for our pack-train before we left Tam

ly saved life"

New York, Feb 9.-Gen. D. Jose Ma
Reyna Barrios president of the repub-
lie of Guatemala, was born in San Mar
cos in 1859. He was nephew of the
former president, Justo Rufino Barrios,
who was killed in 1885. The general was
educated abroad, and after his collegiate
course he made trip around the world.
He was always liberal, and when the
| conservative party was ousted he was
| a close adherent of his uncle's princi-
pies. In the ensuing war of federation,
the purpose of which was the unifica-
ton of the Central American states, the
general was placed in command of di-
vision Of the liberal troops. During the
war of 1885, when his uncle, the presi-
dent was killed. the general succeeded
him as commander of the forces. Later
on when President Barrillas was in
control he banished Barrios from Guat-
emala, he went to California and re-
sided in San Francisco for about year.
Nine years ago Gen. Barrios was con-
sui in Hamburg, Germany. In 1892 he
succeeded Rarrillas as president, his
term of office being six years, expiring
in March of this year. Last June he
publicly declared himself dictator of
Guatemala and from all reports he en-
ioyed the fullest confidence of his party.
His partisans say that under his admin
istration the country prospered and de-
veloped extensively, but this is disputed
by his enemies.
Washington, Feb "a dispatch re-
ceived here announcing the assassina-
ton of President Barrios, says that the
first vice president will succeed the late
president in office, and that quiet pre-
walls.
The new president Mr.. Cabrera, is a
man of prominence in Guatemala, and
is one of the two chosen by the congress
to fill the presidency in case of a vacan-
cy. The system of the country is diff
ferent from that in the United States,
there being no vice president elected
with the president. The duty of filling
the executive chair devolves on the con-
vice presidents, first and second, were
designated some time ago.
