there were envoys, most of them were in france. they would travel to spain and to america and then back to france so that no one would ever know. in 1775, a company from the north of spain from buildout -- bilbao would transport gunpowder, all kinds of supplies to the colonies. those were paid by the spanish crown. however, how it was done is the ship would leave -- and this takes a fair amount of knowledge of geography. because the ships would leave and go all the way down to havana and then from there go to spain and boston -- and from there go to boston. no one would ever know. the reason they give this is because this was a family that founded this company, a shipping company. it was import/export, very reputable people who had connections with people in the colonies, like john cabot and so forth. there has always been this sort of conflict between spain and england. and spain also at the time spain owned most of our country. so they wanted to have a voice or a part in keeping what they had, helping those folks that wanted to g
