Alonzo Aspa. The collector was waited
upon by a delegation of rebels and de-
mand made that he turn over all the
funds in his possession. Aspa replied
that he had deposited the money with
the bank When the delegation left,
apparently satisfied, Aspa made a hur-
ried trip to Laredo and gave the money
over to the keeping of a United States
bank.
