1512. After the conquest of Hayti by the

and ruled over the natives. Fearing for Cuba the
same fate that had befallen his native country, he
made preparations to resist the Spaniards, should
they appear in his new dominion. Accordingly,
when in 1512 Diego Velasquez de Cuellar undertook
the conquest of Cuba, Hatuey opposed the
invaders, but was routed and took refuge in the
woods. During two months he carried on a
guerilla warfare, until he was captured and condemned
to be burned. While they were leading the
cacique to the stake, a priest tried to describe to him
the happiness and blessings he would enjoy in

Indian chief. “Yes, provided they are good,” was
the answer. “Then,” replied Hatuey, “I do not
wish to go where I shall meet with such people.”

husband about 1836, and after his death became a
domestic at the orphan asylum. When the Sisters
opened a second institution she took charge of
their large dairy. But she soon associated herself

her efforts that the asylum reached a sound financial
condition. As soon as the institution was out
of debt she established a dairy, and entered into
business on her own account. In 1866 she opened
a bakery in the heart of New Orleans. She made
money rapidly, but still drove about with her
bread-cart, as she had done with her milk-wagon, and
