BETANCOURT 



Once more Betancourt returned to New 

 York and on the next attempt succeeded 

 in landing on the coast of Cuba under the 

 direction of General Garcia. 



During the rest of the war he fought in 

 Matanzas, under General Lacret, and at its 

 close was at the head of the revolutionary 

 forces in that province with the rank of 

 Major General. 



After the war he was appointed Civil 

 Governor of Matanzas; later Member of 

 the Constituent Convention and also one 

 of those designated by the Assembly to 

 discuss with President McKinley the actual 

 significance of the Piatt Amendment. 



He was elected Senator in the first Legis- 

 lature of Cuba, but later retired from 

 public life to devote himself to agricultural 

 interests.
