Julio Grave de Peralta y Zayas (April 24, 1834 - June 24, 1872) was a Cuban army general who was killed in combat during the Ten Years' War.

[3] Between October 17 to November 6, 1868, Holguín was besieged in a pro-independence uprising by forces led by Julio Grave de Peralta, shortly after the Ten Years' War began.

[6] Following its departure from the United States for Cuba, the vessel became aground on a reef and ended up twelve miles northwest of Baracoa on June 22, 1872.

[7] As a result of the Fannie's grounding, the vessel landed its cargo of war material and 56 Cuban mambí fighters under the command of Grave De Peralta.

[8] The prisoners led Valera to the buried cargo who subsequently seized the arms and ammunition as well as important correspondence for Carlos Manuel de Céspedes that was on the fallen general.
