became known by his knowledge Of military tactics and
by his bravery While through the actions in which he
distinguished himself, he rapidly assembled the grades

his country he took part in its civil wars in which he
sometimes made conspicuous yrrc. Banished In 1894
through the failure ola rising which he himself had
headed, General Arista rrofcd in the United States by
tie aspect OF tis republic lie saw that public progress

order sprung from obedience to the law. From that
time lie laid wn his principle subordination and

culary pleased with HIM, and sent tohm through Lord
Clarendon a magnificent diamond snuff box. General
Arista had many friends in this country who will
