He served on General O'Donnell's staff in the campaign of Slorocco, 185!), was with Prim dur- ing Spain's brief ])artieipation in Mexican alTairs in 18(il, and joined the army in Cuba in 1869, remaining until 1872. On the abdication of King Amadeus (q.v.), in 187.3, he refused adherence to the new order, and his unconcealed enmity to the Republic led to his arrest and imprisonment as a conspirator. On December 29, 1874. at Murivcdro, in conjunction w-ith General .Jovellar, he' proclaimed the son of the deposed Queen Isabella, Alfonso XII., King of Spain. The army followed his lead, a ministerial regency under Canovas del Castillo was formed, and in .January, 1875, the youthful Alfonso was established in ikladrid an<l the monarchy was restored. jMar- tinez Campos brought the civil war to a success- ful issue by the defeat of the Carlists at Peua de Plata, ( 187(i), and was rewarded by the gift of the highest rank in the army. In the same j'ear he was sent to Cuba to conduct the military opera- tions against the insurgents. The central insur- gent committee submitted in 1878. and, the insur- rection being at an end, Martinez Campos retvirned to Spain and became the advocate of a just and liberal policy toward the colony. Canovas del Castillo resigned March 7, 1879, and Martinez Campos headed a new Ministry, but was unable to hold power for many months. Upon his re- turn to office, however, Canovas carried out the main features of the General's Cuban programme. In 1S81 Martinez Campos made a coalition with the Liberal leader Sagasta (q.v.). which lasted until 1884, and was Minister of War vmder him. In 1880. in 1891, and in 1899 he wa-s president of the Senate. In 1893, as Governor of Cata- lonia, he found it necessary to suppress anarchist riots in Barcelona, occasioned by the new taxes of the Government, and unsuccessful at- tempts were made to assassinate him and his family. He was sent to Cuba as Captain-General upon the outbreak of a now insurrection in 1895, in the hope that he would repeat his former suc- cess as a pacificator ; but he was recalled in January. 1896. and thereafter took part as a Moderate Liberal in the endeavor to bring about a reorganization of Spanish affairs and a restora- tion of prosperity. He died September 23, 1900. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, dfi la ro'sa, Fraxcisco (1789-1862). A Spanish statesman and man of letters. He was born in Granada, March 10, 1789; studied law at the University of Granada, and was appointed lecturer on ethics there when less than twenty years old. The French had just invaded Spain, and he en- tered enthusiastically into the national move- ment. He was employed by the .Jimta of Granada to procure arms and supplies at Gibraltar, and he afterwards went to England on the same errand. There, in 1811. his first poem. Znrngo;:a, was published. On his return to Spain, he produced, at Cadiz, a tragedy called La riuda de Padilla. which was .successful, and was followed by a comedy, Lo qtie puedc tin em- pleo, satirizing political life.

Between 1827 and 1837 he published a collection of his OI}ras liter- arias in five volumes. In 1830 he was permitted to return to Sjjain, and began to write an his- torical novel. Bona Isabel de Solis. In March, 1834, he became the head of a Liberal Ministry, and was the author of the royal statute of 18.34 which created a constitutional government and took away the ancient privileges of the provinces.
