The subject of this sketch is editor
and proprietor OF the weekly Anglo
American newspaper published in the
City of Mexico. He is also an attorney
at law and'solicitOr of patents. A history
of his life would read like romance,
would put to shame one OF Rider Hag-
gard s heroes.
He was born in Havana in 1880, was
sent to school in France until his 10Th
year. and studied law for several years,
but his adventurous nature asserted
itself and he became a sailor. He
fought with the English army in the
Crimea in 1855 and 1856, and in India
in 1857 during the Sepoy rebellion.
In 1861 we find him volunteer aide
de-camp with the army of the Potomac,
serving on McClellan's and Rockers
staff. He was at the first bsttle OF Bull
Run and in most of the noted engage
ments in the Peninsula.
After the American war he returned
to his native Cuba aud AgramOnte in
company with his cousin, Gen. Ygnacio
took up arms against tue Spanish rule
in what is known as the ten years war.
In the battle of Las Lunes, Jan. 1st,
1873 he was shot through the lungs, and
his health was so badly broken as &
result of this wound that he was oblig
ed to resign his commission.
From Cuba he went TO Chicago In
1873 and commenced the practice Of his
profession which he followed until 1878.
