Physician; public man. 



Francisco Cabrera Saavedra was born 

 in the Canary Islands in 1850. While very 

 young he moved to Cuba where his parents' 

 circumstances were such that they could 

 afford tor him only the most elementary 

 education. 



Seeing in him a promising student, the 

 Council of Caibarien, where he lived, 

 granted him a pension to enable him to 

 study in the Normal School of Guanaba- 

 coa. Here he received the title Teacher 

 in 1868. 



He then went to the United States and 

 later to Santa Cruz de la Palma where in 

 one year he fulfilled the requirements for 

 the Bachelorate. Going to Madrid he 

 took up the study of Medicine and was 

 graduated as Licentiate in 1875.
