One day two Cubans \u2015one mulatto, the other white\u2015 who had volunteered as personal assistants, gave him a cup of Coca wine from Mariani. The man who always dressed in black accepted it, but at the first sip he noticed something strange and set it aside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, the two enrolled in one of the first expeditions that left from Tampa.<\/span><\/p>\n

And they fought well.<\/span><\/p>\n
