HAVANA, Now 12, 1873.
The Voz de Cuba of to-day, says editorially,
that it is as humane as anybody, more so than
many who make ostentatious professions of
philanthropy, but it cannot do less than ap-
prove of the energy displayed toward all
rebels, and particularly toward those whom
the flibustering steamer virginius brought
to make more bloody war in Cuba.
