Marching with Gomez
The prefect had found in the woods remains of
cattle killed without his knowledge, and I was with
him when he tracked and discovered the perpetrators and found them to be members of Aniceta's
force, who maintained a little prefecture of their own
in the forests, where they lived in lawless ease and
did no fighting.
Some weeks afterwards, with Gomez, I saw this
force again. Rumors of their inactivity had reached the commander,
and he sent one of his fighting regiments to the Cienfuegos district to
gather them all in, and had them
drawn up before him in his camp at
Pozo Azul, near the Camaguey border.
There the old general gave them a
lecture that made them wince more
than the steel of the Spaniards. Every
man of them felt that the eye of the
great war chief was on him personally.

Island and had never heard of such a disgraceful thing
before. He would put them, he said, in the future
where they would have to fight; and he thereupon
divided them up among his forces, giving instructions
that every one of them should be put as often as possible in a place of danger. As for Aniceta himself,
he must have overslept, for he was captured by
Captain Piniera of the Lajas Guerilla and shot in
the town of Las Lajas.
