CuBA.-By the last prrival from Cuba we receiv-
ed a small printed sheet. entitled ala Voz del
Pueblo, Organ de Independence" 1t is full of
dictionary sentiments, and we are told that in spite
of ali the efforts of the government and police
copies Of il are scattered everywhere in town and
country, find their way to the public Offices and
to the private residence Of the Captain Gene
raj. The government has offered n reward OF
$3 900 for the apprehension of any one connected
with the printing circulation of this sheet, (two
numbers of which have been issucd,) but without
success. This shows that there is either a remark
able tact on the part of the publishers and their
agents in conducting their business, or else that
there is prevalent sentiment in the hearts of the
people adverse to the betrayal of the parties impli-
Gated. II the latter superstition be correct the end
