Nacié. el Apostol Marti, el dia 28 de enero de 1853, una modesta casa de la calle Paula, en La Habana.

Cayo Hueso, nuestro querido solar nativo, fué de todos los lu- gares que visitara, el que mas amara. Sus frases elocuentes, asi lo expresan, cuando dijo: “quiero dejar lo que me queda de cora- z6n en Cayo Hueso.” Aqui, en unién de tres ilustres patriotas, José Francisco Lamadriz, José Dolores Poyo y Fernando Figue- redo Socarras, concibié y dedac- t6 las Bases del Partido Revolu- cionario, que fué la pauta a se- guir durante la contienda liber- taria, que tuviera su inicio ¢l 24 de febrero del afio 1895. Pocos hombres en nuestra América, pueden compararse en talento, honestidad y virtudes ciudadanas, con nuestro Apéstol. Orador elocuentisimo, escritor atildado y erudito y, por sobre todo eso, un magnifico’ organiza- dor, dedicé toda su existencia a luchar por la independencia de su tierra natal. Combati6é al Go- bierno de la Colonia, pero jamas actué en contra los espafioles hon- rados, Predicé, como Cristo, una doctrina de Amor, y acaso si ese fué el secreto de sus grandes triunfos. Marti vié en cada hom- bre, un hermano y como a tal le traté y respeté. Su labor como organizador de la Revolucién de 1895, fué maravillosa.

Al cumplirse en el dia de hoy el Centenario de su nacimiento, Cuba se viste con el tricolor de la libertad y le recuerda y rinde | el homenaje de su devocién, co- mo una ofrenda a su memoria excelsa. Este dia debe de ser para to- dos los hombres libres del mun- do, un dia de regocijo, ya que Sefiala el nacimiento de uno de los mas grandes, puros y hones- tos hombres del Continente, cuya figura va dejando de ser ameri- cana, para ser universal, Cayo Hueso le recuerda con. el carifio y la admiracién que el su- po conquistarse en sus breves vi- sitas a este pueblo. ¥ seria pecar de desagradecidos, si en fecha tan memorable, no dedic4ramos un recuerdo a los tabaqueros del Ca- yo y de Tampa, que fueron sus mejores amigos y sus mas valio- sos _colaboradores, Marti, en su intensa labor, su- peré a casi todos los grandes conductores de pueblos y liberta- dores de América.

Hombres de esa envergadura, no parecen destinados a perecer en los campos de batalla. Menta- lidades, como la de Marti, deberi de seguir siendo faros que alum- bren con su claridad, a las gene- raciones venideras. En aquel ex- celso ciudadano encarnaron to- das las virtudes de que puede ha- jcer gala el género humano. Ho- nestidad acrisolada, sacrificio, amor a sus semejantes, * | patriotismo y cultura. Como Cris- to, usé de la parabola brillante, jen sus hermosas prédicas, arreba- tando a las multitudes, que cor- rian tras él, deseosas de serle Util en su labor. Si como él expresara “honrar, honra,” en este dia todos los hombbres libres, especialmente, de nuestra América, han de sen- tirse honrados al recordar su vi- da y sus ensefianzas. Y la mejor manera de honrarle es imitandole en su honestidad, defendiendo la libertad y teniendo en cada co- razén la lampara votiva, perenne- mente encendida, del mas puro patriotismo, de ese patriotismo que hace grandes a los pueblos y les conserva su puesto entre las naciones, civilizadas.
