'''Tomás Estrada Palma''' Cuba's first elected president took office in 1902. Tomas Estrada Palma was reelected in 1906, but this time against violent opposition by the Liberals.

Taft]] and Robert Bacon [http://www.m-g.com/156princestreet/history.htm] but in reality with US General [[Frederick Funston]] who had also been a Mambi, took their “borrowed” horses and went home. Soon Estrada Palma resigned, against the wishes of Roosevelt, and another American government was established in Cuba under [[Charles Magoon]] [http://library.thinkquest.org/18355/charles_magoon.html],
