Antonio de Armas and de la Coba (_ 31 / XII / 1870)

While in Trinidad, the Father of the Fatherland appointed him Chief of the Colón District and ordered him to invade the rich Colombian plain with his troops to destroy his sugar base and free the slave crews from the sugar mills. While trying to complete the mission, he was taken prisoner by the Spanish and shot in Campos de Marsillán, Cienfuegos.
