General Alexander Alejandro oreilly. He rose through the ranks of the spanish army. The spanish sent Alexander Oreilly to cuba to form a militia. He was appointed governor of louisiana and head of the army later on. He arrived in august, 1769, and took formal possession of louisiana for spain.

It was one of the favorite streets of inaudible secretary of the spanish count of fernandino, my grandfather, another irish man feeling at home in havana. There, at the busy corner of calle street and oreilly was a cafe bakery
