TEJEIDA, Juan de (teh-hay'-dah), Spanish
soldier, lived in the second half of the 16th century. In 1589 he held the rank
of major-general, and was sent to govern the island of Cuba, being the first
ruler that had the title of captain-general. Under his government the three
fortresses that protect Havana were built under the direction of the engineer
Juan Antonelli, the aqueduct, conveying water from Chorrera to Havana, was
finished, and in 1592 Havana received the title of city and a coat of arms. In
1595 he returned to Spain, being superseded by Maldonado Barnuevo.
