After taking command in Cuba, Spanish commander Valeriano Weyler sent General Julián Suárez Inclán southwest of Havana against insurgent leader Antonio Maceo. At Cacarajicara, Maceo and a small force attacked the Spanish column and took costly losses until Cuban reinforcements arrived under Colonel Juan E. Ducasse. Suárez Inclán then suffered a decisive defeat.
