Santiago as engineer of the Steel Ore Co., 

 and in 1900 joined the local Department 

 of Public Works as assistant engineer. 

 After several minor promotions he became 

 chief engineer of the Department of Public 

 Works of the Province of Oriente. He soon 

 attained the rank of Chief Engineer of the 

 First Class and under the national govern- 

 ment filled successively the offices of 

 Director General and Inspector General of 

 Railways. 



Following a two-years' interim marked 

 by the American Provisional Government, 

 during which he devoted himself to private 

 practice of his profession chiefly as techni- 

 cal director of a company engaged in the 

 urbanization and extension of Santiago, 

 he was returned to the Department of 

 Public Works. After a few months, as 

 head of that department in his native 

 province, he was attached to the National 

 Department of Public Works as secretary 

 (iqoq-iqii). 



For the following two years, 1912-1913, 

 he remained in Havana as the consulting 

 engineer of the General Contracting Co.
