new island has been discovered in the
Sea of Japan. From a statement APP

Little Busler of Eighth
Regiment
Was Struggled Aboard
a Transport.
An Untold Tale of the Presidents S
Own.

The Eighth Ohio Volunteers, which
participated in the Inauguration
parade, has an interesting history, says
the Bucyrus correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. 1t was the only
volunteer regiment which saw service
in Cuba and took part in the siege Of
Santiago. 1t enlisted with 1 100 picked
young men of the Buckeye State, all
in the best of health. Seventy were
left buried in Cuba and most of the
balance were mere wrecks when they
reached Montauk Point. Colonel Voll-
rath, now commanding the regiment,
was the first volunteer soldier who
landed in Cuba, and was the last Of
the regiment to leave except those de-
tanned in the hospitals.
The regiment on entering the Gov
ernment service had the youngest re-
gimental bugler in the service. He
was little Jimmie Fulton, scarcely out
of knee trousers. Jimmie was stricken
with typhoid fever in Cuba, but his
comrades refused to leave him be.
hind, and he was smuggled aboard.
Several days out he became much
worse and the doctor said it was a
race with death, as the boy would get
well if he lived to reach land His
comrades were weak from the hard
ships of the campaign and the ravages
the camp, but the steamer was short
handed, and one boiler remained with
out fire under it.
The soldiers were fearful lest their
little bugler should die, and though
weak on poor food, and with poor
sleeping accommodations, they volun-
teered to act as strokers and coal
shovelers on the extra boiler in order
to get more steam to urge the tagging
ship. They We're too weak for long
tricks, but there were many willing
to help, and they kept the boiler going,
and the boat reached Montauk a day
before it was due. The little bugler
was still alive, and mothers care
brought him back to health. He is
with the regiment today, and will
march down Pennsylvania avenue
with the heroes who saved his life.
