captured Siboney and thus reduced the 

 risk of the disembarkation of the American 

 force. He continued to cooperate with the 

 Americans throughout the remainder of 

 the war. 



When hostilities ceased he turned to 

 politics. In 1898 he was named Governor 

 of Santiago de Cuba and was later ap- 

 pointed Civil Governor of the Eastern 

 Province under the American Intervention. 

 He was one of the founders of the Repub- 

 lican party in Oriente which later merged 

 with the Liberal party. In 1906 he was 

 associated with the Revolutionary Com- 

 mittee and was arrested and imprisoned 

 until the arrival of the American commis- 

 sioners who released him. Soon thereafter 

 Governor Magoon appointed him Chief of 

 the Penitentiary of the Republic. In con- 

 sequence of the Revolution of 191 6-1 7 he 

 retired from office and resumed the life of 

 a private citizen.
