In the midst of his wrecking expedi-
ton Maceo was panied to learn that
the Cuban leaders had signed a treaty
of peace with Spain. He refused to
accept the situation and continued his
rounds of destruction. But the back
bone of the rebellion was broken. and
Maceo consented to put away his sword
on condition that Spain should furnish
him with a warship TO carry him and
his officers to Jamaica. General Cam,
pos accepted the offer. and Maceo re-
tired. But it was not to rest. His
proud spirit was not broken, and in
his retirement he nurtured his scheme
OF vengeance. He gave up his whole
time to the study of war. He bought
books of all kinds treating of war, and
devoured them. After two months
residence at Jamaica he landed in New
York incoynito. He made his way to
West Point and there became a host

About this time Antonio Maceo first
met his present enemy, Captain-Gen-
eral Valeriano Weyler. Weyler had
Just been made a brigadier-general and
was sent against the brave Antonio at
Guaimaro. The latter led the brigadier
and his men into a ravine trap and
slaughtered the Spaniards like sheep.
Weyler ran away, leaving 500 of his
men slain. Soon thereafter Maceo at
tackled with great success the San
Quentine battalion and won a major
generalship. His promotion added fire
to his ambition and he fought many
bloody fights at Baragua, at San Fell
ipe, Sabana, Hato del Medic, Cayo Rey
and Miranda. At Cayo Rey, Maceo
was shot through the lungs, but es-
capped and recovered. After his recov-
cry Maceo adopted new methods of
hurting the Spaniards. His brother
Jose had meanwhile grown up to man
hood and Joined Antonio. Between
them they conducted a campaign that
bled Spain to the heart. They marched
through the country and left ruin and
desolation behind them. 1t has been
this method that has caused Spain her
deepest sorrow in the present revolu-
tiOn.
