 | | BARRIOS, Justo Rufino Central American statesman, born in San Lorenzo, department of San Marcos, Guatemala, 17 July 1835; died in Chalchuapa, 2 April 1885. |
 | | Barrios went in person to attack Salvador, and after the battles of Platanar, Chalchuapa, Apanica, and Pasaquina, the Salvadorians, having resisted for two months without success, capitulated. |
 | | Barrios did not begin the war until Zaldivar, made bold by the help he fancied Mexico would give him, ordered his troops to cross the frontier and attack the Guatemalan forces. |
