Imprisonment
Cervera's work in Spanish Africa earned him the promotion of commander. However, on December 19, 1890 he published a criticism of the Spanish colonial government in Morocco in El Imparcial, and he was arrested after being tried, and incarcerated in the Santa Bárbara at Alicante in 1891. He was released two years later.
After 1894, he served as aide-de-camp to General Manuel Macías y Casado in the latter’s assignments as Commander General of Melilla; Captain General of the Canary Islands; Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Corp of the Army at Valladolid; and Captain General of Puerto Rico.
