Immediately after the death of Marti, Maximo Gomez crossed that barrier and organized an army in Camaguey.
A fight took place upon the spot, the rebels trying hard to carry the corpse away, but they were repulsed. Maximo Gomez was wounded in the encounter, which for some days led to the belief that he too was dead.
