York. He 10 about hfty-nine year
old. decidedly military in pose ant
manner; his conversation vivacious
but always to the point and Away
brilliant BY profession q lawyer, HI
impresses one as boru to commando
man of big AFFAIRS who would carr!
out any enterprise with honor anf
success. Among his followers hii
law and his counsel Is always sough
and followed In grave emergencies.
He was one Of the organizers Of tina
nrst Cuban revolution Of 1868. HI
met with his friends nightly at farm
owned by Donate Marmol, near thu
town of Holguin. The Cubans were
already in revolt under Cespedes, and
within two days Marmol and Garcia
took up arms with $50 resolute follow
ers. Extraordinary success attended
them. Town after town surrendered
first Santa Rita, then Jugnani, afteI
hard fighting, with is 10000 popula
ton. For his bravery Garcia was pro
NOTED brisadisr general under Gomez
Later, when the provisional govern
ment, for some reason not clearly ex
planned, removed Gomez, Garcia sue
ceeded him. Finding that Juguan
had, meanwhile, been retaken by tn,
spaniards, he proceeded to capture II
again. He next took Holguin, thu
town where the revolution was origi
nally organized. Other victories rap
idly followed.
At the obstinate all day battle Of
Santa Maria, in 1909, he followed vol
MoItke's tactics at ssdan-surrounded
the enemy's army and forced the sur
render Of General vingues and his
men. They were well treated and
given freedom.
So grateful were they for the une1
pected clemency that one of the on
,cers, General Rosalea, on returning Il
Spain, issued pamphlet extolling thu
generosity of Garcia. But victory did
not always follow the Cuban eagles
September, 1878, brought reverses.
In the absence of bis main forces
