Sent 1: In 1878, Martinez Campos was Governor-General of Cuba, and Maximo Gomez was Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban forces.
Sent 2: Both parties were weary of the prolonged hostilities, and neither was able to compel the other to surrender.
Sent 3: Spain, however, professed a willingness to yield an important part of the demands of her rebellious subjects.
Sent 4: Martinez Campos and Gomez met at Zanjon and, on February 10, 1878, mutually agreed to what has been variously called a peace pact, a treaty, and a capitulation.
Sent 5: The agreement was based on provisions for a redress of Cuban grievances through greater civil, political, and administrative privileges for the Cubans, with forgetfulness of the past and amnesty for all then under sentence for political offences.
Sent 6: Delay in carrying these provisions into effect gave rise to an attempt to renew the struggle two years later, but the effort was a failure.
Sent 7: Matters then quieted down for a number of years.
Sent 8: The Cubans waited to see what would be done.
Sent 9: The Spanish Governor-General still remained the supreme power and, aside from the abolition of slavery, the application of the Spanish Constitution and Spanish laws to Cuba, and Cuban representation in the Cortes, much of which was rather form than fact, the island gained little by the new conditions.
Sent 10: Discontent and protest continued and, at last, broke again into open rebellion in 1895.
