The P1enza, Of the 10th, has an article glori-
flying over the triumph obtained by the Govern
ment in the capture and execution of the inva-
ders and the victory claimed to have been won at
Las Pozas. The editor prescrbes TO himself ''such

Cuba has already answered all the miserable false
hoods Of the New Orleans papers-Cuba has answered
