Conflicting Accounts-The Cubana Fight

important Kngavgemcnt of the War.
[Correspondence of the Kew York TimeB.]
HAVANI, May li-The grand events of the
-pa?t few days have been the a ceo tints of the
?kirmiab.ee between Lesea and Qnesada on the
first and third of this month at Las Minas
mod at Alt ?gracia, two small settlements on
She road .from Nue vi t a s to Puerto Principe. As
asnal, tho accounts vary considerably. To be?
gin with the Spanish version, according to the
riario:
We have received news from Nuevitas to the j
. 7th instant, according to which an effort to.
?top the column of General Lesea, with the
convoy of which we have made mention al
leady, was made by very large numbers of in
ssngeiiia. Oar soldiers attacked them with ?
theax/uaual ?mpet^oarty, and the rebele hav
- .'^fckfteMsd more resistance than,usual, we aro
damned that the result of tho combat was
tWfrible for them. The troops had one lieu?
tenant-colonel, one captain, and six soldiers
.killed and thirty wounded. The settlement of I
, fan Miguel baa been reduced to ashes. |
The pecnh'ar wording of this item and the
Strangeness of its character, which, differs to- ?
tally from, the usual style of the Diario, gave j
xme to numerous conjectures, even among the J
partisans of the Diario-the usual announce- i
- Matai ot (he thousands of Cubans killed, their ?
aptness for running away, the deified heroism
?j -cf tho defenders of (he faith, and the tacit ic- j
- Jkaowlodgment that the rebele did not mn
' -. .away, boag wanting. The Diario was and un -
?a?onbtedly is ashamed of this departure from
ruiea, and, contrite, gave another and more j
. ? explicit account on the following day, which is
anore Diario-Iike and throws more light on the
. ?Air. lie Diario Bays :
. ' "--'j?B the 3d inst., about thtrteen kilometers
" ; m Puerto Pi ir ci pe, all the hordes composing
5 army of the Camagu ey, attacked Brig adi er
BsrmILST.fr>. who, with the ba ttalions Un ion
and Aragon, were ' convoying nineteen

The engagement lasted the entire
, and three grand bayonet attacks
rere na.do. which caused terribie havoc among
. ate insurgente. An eye-witness calculates the
Somber of killed at two thousand-a figure
- wfa ich may be somewhat exaggerated, although
lie rope ?ts that the bayonet attacks were terri- J
We. On our side we lost eight men killed raid1
- twenty-four wounded. Nearly ail the wonod?
ed, win recover, their wounfa bebg slight. On
. 4he 30th of.April Lenci and Colonel Gayene
" thea tilled two hundred rebela at Aitagraoia
. ?nd Bay arabo. On the 5th the band c om mirri cl?
ea by Angel Castillo burnt San Miguel. If the
- Tout har been as complete as stated by our I
?teNspeuesSnt, the rebels will no longer be
???htojio- asstain themselves.
^ ' Thoa[tu {he Diario fails to mention whether
' 'the Sf>aniarda euccee?ed in their attempt to
' carry the' provisions and convoy to Puerto
Principe or not, ?nd whether Lesea, after his i
<*iotoy> (?) tan? d himself in a position to hold j
iia own and advance on Puerto Principe, or if j
"he had to retreat to Nuevitas. The rebels
jnuat undonbtedJy havo gained some ad

Under the [ very nose of the Spanish land and
. ??jalf?rces. jg
. - > The Toe de Cuba, not so Munchausen i sh and
so easily gulled aa the Diario, and endowed
.with more common sense, speaking of this
?flair, and under the heading "We Doubt,''
.ajs:
Our distioguished colleague, the Diario, pub?
lishes to-day some details about Leeca's en-1
1 gagementa between Nuevitas and-Puerto
Pr?ncipe, saying that our loss is thirty-two,
. ?nd adding that the combat lasted the whole
afternoon; that the number of killed rebels
' amounted to 3000, iaccording to an eye-wit
3ie8s,r and that the battalions of Union Rey and
.' Arragon were engaged. We are not aware by
what channel the Diario has received these
detail?, which do not appear in General
. X? tona fe account of the affair, although we
dont care to deny their correctness; but we
doubt whether the losses of the enemy are so
' gre?t ss is presumed, as, according to cur
? knowledge, the rebels never bad two thousand
ether in the Central Department, and
! be very strange if, after the many re
rhich the/ suffered, and the troubles
. : themselves they should have beou en
,; shied to gather the powerful army necessary
to sustain a loss of tao thousand men in a ;
single encounter.
; The Voz de Cuba judges correctly as to the
Impossibility of the two thousand killed; but
when the Voz says that the insurgents never
" had two thousand men together, it refutes its
- own statement concerning the Sierra Cubit*
affair, ?nd those published by ?ll the Spanish
. journals of the island, ?nd ?censes the Span -
lah chief, who spoke of three, faur and five
thousand men at Cubits, near Nuevitas, and
other placee, of stretching the long bow. If
-she Voa de Cuba is correct in its statement, in
that case ?ll the accounts from that vicinity
have been merely exaggerated, a quality
Which, hythe way, they have enjoyed in the
?pinion of the thinking classes for 6ome time.
CUBAS V?BSIOXS?
Bat where so many Spanish versions are
afloat there must naturally be also an equal
number in favor of the other side, and your
oorreapoa-lont has been fortunate enough to
Scads letter, alleged to have been written on
?he fie d of battle, or in its vicinity, by a young
relative of iho gout eman in whose possession
I saw it. I most confess that its tenor was
somewhat rambling and disjointed, but there
was, ucvcrihe'oos, each an air of fair dealing,
?ToaintnooS un 1 real beir-sacrificing patriotism
in the <vi3'.'o aa to s am? it with the imnrint
Of truth. Tue l.-t'.er aaa dated at Altagracia,
Hay S, and written o i very coarse and greasy
paper. I g.ve m reiy such extracts as bear on
the engagement with Lesea, and on the ulte
Xiordesigna of the insurgents.
On the 80th all the necessary arrangements
had been made and orders had been given to
Oe ready to surround Lesea on his return from
Soevitas aod annihilate bis army, not only by
euperiority of nnmbcrs, bnt also by displaying
euch valor as is denied to us by our enemies,
but is nevertheless inherent in every Cuban,
lesea wis to have arrived at the place, where
we expected to surround bim on the afternoon
Of the 1st, bnt judge of onr surprise when we
- learned that oar in tended manouvre had been
betrayed or else disclosed by some careless
official. Qnesada was furious, and calling a
council of general officers,'he informed them
that notwithstanding the failure of bis original
,plan, he was determined to fight and whip Les?
ea sf ?hy cost. Raising his voice, he added :
"'Centi?mea, I mean to fight, rind yon will fight
even if not a single mao escapes the carnage
?hre, but where or when, I keep to myself, ?od
you mil hold yourself ready to obey such or
sers 'sa may. be handed you by my staff
Officers/* This short discourse waa received
Wita ?hnost general satisfaction, and during
I tbe afternoon orders frere received to march
toward Puerto Principe. A place named Sa?
bana was reached at 5 o'clock. During the
night and on the following morning spies and
advanced guards arrived, announcing the ap?
proach of Lesea, the negroes and many whites
in the meantime digging entrenchments and
raising breastworks. Le sea's advance coard
came np at about ll o'clock, but waa not mo?
lested until it had passed the entrenchments,
when a volley was poured upon them from both
sides of the road, throwing them into con ra?
si?n. They attempted to fall back on the main
body, but it was already too late, and Lesea,
Bering the danger of his advance, advanced at
a double-quick to rescue them. In the mean?
time Quesada had placed his entire forces in
available positions so as to flank the enemy
either to the right or to the left oblique, the
left being almost impassable, and defended by
a company of riflemen from Uayamo. He then
organized a picket or rear guard of four
hundred and fifty men, composed of Domi?
nicans, Americans, and other foreigners, and
Bembetas and Santa Luca's detachment of
Puerto Principians, and gave them orders to
advance only in case of extreme necessity, but
to fire in the ranks of the main body and march
over them should they waver or retreat from
the Spaniards. The main body, informed of
these orders, Btated that they alone would an?
nihilate the Spaniards. By that time the fire
bad become general along the line. The front
rank stood coolly under the fire; a few left the
ranks and attempted to run towards the woods,
bnt the determined stand of the rear guard
and their undoubted intention tc fire on any
one who should attempt Lo fly. drove thc cow?
ards b ick into the lines. A small body of Que
sada's forces detached thoa: sel ves without or?
ders from tbe main body, but was quickly
driven back by the Spaniards, who advanced to
attack the patriots with the bayonet, but wre
repulsed. A second attack met the same fate,
wnen the detachment before mentioned again
left from the main body and ad van c jd cn the
Spaniards, who with a* yell atacked them and
entered the entrenchments together wi tu the
detachment, butchering thom one by one.
The hue thus broken wavered, and everything
seemed over, with a victory lor the Spaniards,
when Quesada ordered Colonel Lopez and
Bembeta to advance with the rear guard, the
very flower of the army. A rush like that of a
herd of cittle, a singlo volley, and I saw no
more for a minute, a oistol ball having almost
blinded me and slightly grazed my bead. The
advanced guard had run over their own army,
driving them, in their impetuosity, through
the very midst of the Spanish centre. Facing
to the right and left after discharging a volley,
they then attacked the Spaniards with such
strength as to make them seek safety in flight
and gather around their rear guard to
reform themselves, while our main body,
now placed in the rear and on the flank of the
Spaniards, kept up an incessant fire. A ia'se
report was brought to Quesada that Letona,
with fiesh troops, was coming to Lescaa res
1 cue, but it proved untrue. The day was ours
and the battle won. We lost three huudrcd
killed and over four hundred wounded; tho
Spaniards, two hundred killed and twj hun?
dred and fifty wounded, which difference must
be ascribed to their superiority in respect of
weapons. The forces oncaged on both -id t
numbered 1300 to 1100 Spaniards, and about
S?OO Cubans, many of these badly armed. This
is the first, but will not be tho last, of a series
of engagements, wu i c'a will not only detcat
the plans of the Spaniards, tut make us mas
tere of the situatiou, and placo thc whole of
the Central and Eas'ern Departments, with
manyslico8 from tho cinco villas in our posses?
sion, before the rainy season has fairly com?
menced.
This is the substance of the letter, an 11
have given it as nearly BS possible in the same
words. To listen to a Spaniard for P few
minutes, one becomes convinced that io a few
weeks the revolution will be over; they have al
least got to believing it themselves. Listen to
a Cuban and ho will produce sufficient docu?
ments and datea to show conclusively that the
Spaniards will lose and be compelled to leave
the island in a few months, or a year at the
furthest. Both parties are undoubtedly sincere
w jen they express their determination to re?
duce the island to a mountain of ashes bofore
allowing the enemy to possess it; and if past
actions are to guide us, and the character ol
both factions be taken into account, woo to the
island and its people,.os neither party will bo
able to restore what.they have destroyed. Only
the future will tell whether these sanguinary
plans wilt bo oona lulu tumut, ur u wean
threats are merely the ebullition of the heated
brain of an exoitable race, quick to plan, but
oh ! how slow to execute.

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BL03 T> .
THE REPUTATION
this excellent medicine en
X^cJ\ Jovs, is derived from its
y ^A'^-i Sk cures; many of whicb are
Ar n fm truly marvellous. Invcte
/y r 1 ^4i?w rate cases of t*CTo:ulcus

/( /wi) seemed saturated witt

they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such great iiumbers in aim? it every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need to be
Inlormedof its virtues or nse>.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of onr race. Often this unseen and un iel i
tenant of tho organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack ot enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence Again,
it seems to breed infection through the body, and
then,on some favorable occasion, rapidly devclor s
into one or other ol its hideous forms, either on tbe
surface or among the vitals. In ibo latter, tubercle.?
may be tuddonly deposited in the lungs or heart, or
tumors formed in tbe liver, or it shows Its presence
by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some
part of tho body. Hence the occasional use ot a
bottle of this SARAPARILLA is advisable, even
when no active symptoms rf disease appear. Per?
ron? amide > with the following complaint? generally
fud imn ediato relief, and, at length, cure, by the
use of thia SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony's Fire,
Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum. Scald Head,
nm- WM> tum Ljes. uore?Lar?,-anoo?nererup?
tions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also,
in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Dica-e, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and Uie va?
rious ulcerous affections ot the muscular and ner?
vous svstems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are
cur. d by it, though a long time is required for sub
dnrlng these obstinate maladi s by soy medicine,
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. Leucorrhoa or White?, Uterine Ul?
cerations and Female diseas<>8. are commonly soon
relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and
invigorating eft ct Minute Directions for eacb case
are lound in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheu?
matism and Gout, wben caused by accumulations of
extraneous matters in tbe blood, yield quickly to it,
as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, CongcstloLoi
Inflammation of the Liver und Jaundice, whin aris?
ing, aa they often do. from the rankling poisons in
ibeb.ood lins SARSPARILLA is a great restore)
ter the strength and viaoroftbe system. Ihose who
are Languid and Listlo s, Despondent, Sleepia
and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears,
or BLy of the affections symptomatic of Weakness,
will find immediate relief au J convincing evidence
of its restorative power upon trial.
