It seriously questioned the Weylerian assertion that Cacarajícara was a Hispanic triumph, when in reality, the most immediate purpose was not achieved, which was to evict Antonio Maceo from the region. The Cuban triumph in this battle demonstrated the combative capacity and the consecration of those who, moved by the sublime ideal of independence, were able to erase any difference.
