we we're soon presented 10
General Garcia, and were most
kindly received by him, who was
to be our future commander.
He was a man of most striking
appearance, being over six feet
tall and rather heavy, and his
hair and large mustache were
snow white. What at once at
tracted attention was the hole in
his forehead, souvenir of the
Ten Years war.
On Sept. 3, 1874, being about
to fall into the hands of the Span
iards, and believing his execution
to be certainty, he had fired a
large-caliber revolver upward
from beneath his lower jaw, the
bullet making it's exit almost in
the center of his forehead. 1t is
safe to say that not one man in
ten thousand would have survived
so terrible an injury.
Man of Courage.
He was taken prisoner, and
owed his life to the skill of a
Spanish surgeon, though he re-
NAMED in prison until the end of
the war, four years later. To the
day of his death, nearly twenty
four years later. he wound never
entirely healed, and he always
carried a small wad of cotton in
the hole in his skull.
General Garcia was man of
the most undoubted personal
courage, and was a courteous and
kindly gentleman. He seldom
smiled, and ! never heard him
laugh but once, and that was
when on one occasion he fired
every one of the six shots in his
revolver at jutea, a small ami
NAL, at a few yards range with
out disturbing its slumbers.
General Garcia's staff consisted
of about a dozen young men of
the best families of Cuba. All Of
them spoke English, a great con-
venience for us foreigners who
were constantly under the neces-
sity of communicating with them.
The Chief of Staff.
The chief of staff was Colonel
Mario Menocal, graduate of
Cornell and civil engineer by
profession. He was a most capa-
BILE and daring soldier, and his
rise had bene rapid. He was the
nominee of the conservative party
for the presidency of Cuba at the
last election.
Another member Of the staff
was Colonel Carlos Garcia, a son
of the general and the present
Cuban minister to the United
States. He was a great friend of
all of us Americans.
General Garcia's force having
been raised in the province of
Santiago, had a much larger pro-
portion of negroes than the one
that we had been with. With
him here were several we'll
known negro chieftains, among
them Rabi and Cebreco, the for
mer one of the most striking
looking men / have ever seen.
The Cuban negroes in the in
surgent army we're to me a most
interesting study. They seemed
much more forcefuf and agrees
