CABEZAS ALTAMIRANO,
Juan de las (kah-bay'-thas), Cuban prelate, born in Zamora, Spain, in the latter
part of the 16th century ; died in 1615. He was appointed bishop of Cuba and
Florida in February, 1602. In April, 1604, while visiting his diocese in the
eastern part of Cuba, he was surprised near Yara by the French pirate, Gilbert
Giron, who held him and his suite in captivity for eighty days. He was ransomed,
and the peasants afterward fell on Giron and his troops, routed them, and killed
the pirate. Cabezas was the first bishop that ever visited Florida. He was
appointed, in 1610, bishop of Guatemala, and afterward bishop of Arequipa, Perú,
but died before assuming that office.
