Pseudo republic
The interference of the United States in the final stretch of the last Cuban independence contest (1895-1898) frustrated the ideals of the stout mambí, to whom the pseudo-republican government gave "crumbs" as a public official; He was appointed Coastal Inspector, a position in which his countryman, friend and captain of the Liberation Army Jesús Bonachea Moreira was placed as an assistant. Lobato, who like many mambises embraced liberal ideas, served as President of an Electoral College in the first political elections held in the Ciénaga de Zapata around 1920 in the historic town of Soplillar.
