At the time of the coup d'état of the Antonio brothers and Carlos Ezeta in 1890, Acosta was forced to flee from the country and did not return until it ended in 1894.

He participated with such people as Francisco Gavidia, Santiago I. Barberena and cousin of the writer, Arthur Ambrogi.

[1] Francisco Gavidia mentioned Acosta describing him as "a sweet poet, of great descriptive dowries".

Impasible y compacto regimiento, tendido en las cañadas laderas, luce el bosque triunfal de sus banderas, que en sus manos alegre agita el viento.

Mientras, buscando alivio a sus congojas, el rudo caporal duerme rendido al plácido susurro de las hojas.
