MARTINEZ-CAMPOS, Arsenio, Spanish soldier, born in Segovia, Spain, in 1831. He entered the army, took part in the war against Morocco, and became colonel in 1859. He went to Mexico under Gem Prim in 1862, but returned to Spain. When the insurrection began in Cuba, he was sent to the island and did good service. In 1871 he was appointed governor of Santiago de Cuba, and in 1872 he returned to Spain. He then became lieu-tenant-general and succeeded in bringing to an end the Carlist war. In 1876 he was appointed captain-general of Cuba, and after many efforts and by means of a conciliatory policy pacified the island, and terminated the civil war that had devastated the country for ten years. He remained governor of Cuba until 1879, and did much to secure reforms for the island. He has since been prominent in Spanish politics.
