Geology Spain, colonies Mines and mining 20th century, early 19th century Philippines Enrique Abella y Casariego

Se presenta por vez primera la biografía del ingeniero de minas Enrique Abella y Casariego, cuya vida estuvo marcada por su paso por la Inspección General de Minas de las Islas Filipinas, a la que se incorporó en 1877 y abandonó tras el desastre del 98. En las islas desarrolló una intensa investigación geológica y minera y, como jefe de la Inspección, trabajó activamente no sólo en el servicio minero, sino dando apoyo también al gobierno colonial en temas de diversa índole. Su colaboración con el general Camilo García de Polavieja, cuando este fue nombrado Gobernador y Capitán General de Filipinas en 1896, determinó también su carrera política, de marcado carácter conservador, al presentarse a diputado a Cortes en las legislaturas transcurridas entre 1899 y 1907. A su vuelta del archipiélago filipino tampoco dejó de lado su faceta de competente profesional de la minería, y fue director de dos de los más importantes establecimientos mineros del Estado, la mina de cinabrio de Almadén y la mina de plomo Arrayanes, en Linares. The biography of the mining engineer Enrique Abella y Casariego is presented for the first time, whose life path was determined by his accomplishments in the Bureau of Mines of the Philippine Islands, which he joined in 1877 and left after the loss of the colony in 1898. Abella developed an intensive geological and mining research in the Philippines and, as head of the Bureau, he worked actively not only in the mining service, but also supporting the colonial government. His collaboration with Gene-ral Camilo García de Polavieja, Governor and Captain General of the Philippines in 1896, also defined his markedly conservative political career, being deputy in the legislatures between 1899 and 1907. Nevertheless, Abella did not leave aside his interests in mining at his return of the Philippines. He was appointed director of two of the main state mining establishments, the Almaden cinnabar mine and the Arrayanes lead mine in Linares.
