In all this Cuban business there is one man stands out on the
horizon of my memory like Mars at perihelion. When war broke out
between Spain and the United States, it was very necessary to
communicate quickly with the leader of the Insurgents. Garcia was
somewhere in the mountain vastness of Cuba -- no one knew where. No
mail nor telegraph message could reach him. The President must
secure his cooperation, and quickly.
What to do?
Someone said to the President, “There’s a fellow by the name of
Rowan will find Garcia for you, if anybody can.”
Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia.
How “the fellow by the name of Rowan” took the letter, sealed it up
in an oil-skin pouch, strapped it over his heart, in four days
landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat,
disappeared into the jungle, and in three weeks came out on the
other side of the Island, having traversed a hostile country on
foot, and delivered his letter to Garcia, are things I have no
special desire now to tell in detail.
The point I wish to make is this: McKinley gave Rowan a letter to
be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter and did not ask,
“Where is he at?” There is a man whose form should be cast in
deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the
land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about
this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause
them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their
energies: do the thing -- “Carry a message to Garcia!”
General Garcia is dead now, but there are other Garcias.
No man, who has endeavored to carry out an enterprise where many
hands were needed, but has been appalled at times by the imbecility
of the average man -- the inability or unwillingness to concentrate
on a thing and do it. You, reader, put this matter to a test: You
are sitting now in your office -- six clerks are within call.
