He fought the cantonal rebellions of Cartagena and Valencia and fought in the Third Carlist War. In 1884 he requested his transfer to the Philippines where he was given command of the Spanish Regiment, in 1890 he was appointed military-political governor of the Mariana Islands and then of Zamboanga.1 The following year he was promoted to colonel and returned to Spain.
