Cisneros, Salvador, Marquis De Santa Lucia

Statesman; born in Cuba in 1831. In 1868, the year that the Ten Years War broke out, he renounced all allegiance to Spain and his right to a noble title, declaring himself henceforth a republican. He was a man of large wealth, but when his affiliation with the Cuban cause became known in Spain his property was confiscated. Upon the organization of the first Cuban government he was elected president of the House of Representatives, and later, when President Cespedes died, he became chief executive of the Cuban Republic.
