[Etext transcriber's note:

The use of Spanish accents in this text varies and has not been altered
(ie. both Senor and Senor [tilde n], Senora and Senora [tilde n], Jose
[acute accented letter e] and Jose appear; both Nunez and Nunez [tilde
n], Marti and Marti [acute accented i], Carreno and Carreno appear
[tilde n] (this will not be observed in the ASCI version).)

Several typographical errors have been corrected
(Almandares=>Almendares, Donate=>Donato, etc.).]

[Illustration: JOSE MARTI

The first great apostle and martyr of the Cuban War of Independence,
Jose Marti, was born in Havana on January 28, 1853, and fell in battle
at Dos Rios on May 19, 1895. He was a Professor of Literature, Doctor of
Laws, economist, philosopher, essayist, journalist, poet, historian,
statesman, tribune of the people, organizer of the final and triumphant
cause of Cuban freedom. He suffered imprisonment in Spain and exile in
Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States, doing his crowning work in the
last-named country as the vitalizing and energizing head of the Cuban
Junta in New York. His fame must be lasting as the nation which he
founded, wide as the world which he adorned.]
