Antonio Maceo: O
a. a. General Who Rides i'm Front of His :
~ W Army-A Bold and Dasfling Career
His Wonderful March of 800 Miles,

When the news of the present uprising
In Cuba reached Antonio Maceo. in banish-
ment i'm Costa Rica. h. quickly gathered
about him several veterans of the ten
years war, among whom was his brother
Jose and hurried to the relief of his native
island, from which he mad reluctantly talk
en- leave seventeen years before. That was
in March. 1885. In one short year he has
traversed the island from one end to the
other, breaking down military trochas
and defying the Spaniards in their very
strongholds. These twelve months have
shown him to be more than a guerrilla
chieftain. a great general-one of the great
est of modern times. The account given
here of his wonderful career is based upon
information from one who served with
Maceo in the ten years war, and who
has been closely acquainted with his move
ments. during the present struggle.
A Family of Patriots.
Antonio Maceo is a mulatto. He was
born at Santiago de Cuba, July IA. 1SiS. His
father was Marcus Maceo and his mother 5
maiden name was Mariana Grajales. The
elder Maceo owned a plantation at Bara-
Jagua and kept pack mules for hire. From
this circumstance tho statement has been
made that Antonio MacCo was a driver OF
mules before the war At the beginning Of
the ten years war i'm 1865, the male por-
ton of the AIaceo family consisted of eiev-
en- sons. the youngest being Jose, fourteen
years of age. The revolution had been in
progress several months and the Maceo
family had kept aIoCf from taking part
in the uprising. one day there appeared

And bygone summers glow again:

Enshrined within the fragrant heart
OF some old-fashioned song, may speak

The accuracy Of finger prints" as
test of personal identity is well shown by
some recent photographs of Francis Cal
