The Dawn of Freedom

• Watchlist

Cuba was fighting for the liberty and love, for the life unburdened by the yokes of bondage. She was striving to free the poor and oppressed and Col. Maceo was leading his people against the enemy. Mendoza, an unwelcome suitor for the beautiful daughter of Maceo, desperate over his rebuffs, leads the enemy against the struggling Cubans, fearing the appeal to Old Glory. The wires are cut; a duel is fought to the death in which the brave old General is wounded. His last and immortal words to his brave subjects were: "My passing sees for Cuba the dawn of freedom."
