Order "Máximo Gómez".

Up till now in all info i have found the Order " Máximo Gómez " was awarded with the title Hero of Cuba rather like the Order of Lenin with the Gold Star.
Also it seems to be a Military related Order and named after another revolutionary figure.

Máximo Gómez Baez

Máximo Gómez Baez 1836-1905, Born in Santo Domingo, Major General Máximo Gómez Baez commanded Spanish reserve troops there when he traveled to Cuba in 1865. At first he was a supporter of and fighter in the Ten Years' War, Cuba's first struggle for independence, but he soon retired from the fight and returned to his plantations back home. He travelled to the United States and met with José Martí, but the two had different approaches to the problem of Cuban liberation with Gómez favoring the military side.
