THE BATTLES NEA?TTUEIU'O PRINCIPE. 4 _ Conflicting Accounts-Tlic Cubans l?'ignt -Spanish Ano Cullan Versions-Most Important Hngngcintnt of Hie War. [Correspondence of thc- Kew York Times. 1 HAVANA, May 13.-Tho grand cventB cf tho past few days have been the accounts of the Skirmishes between Lesea anclQuesnda on the first and third of this month at Las Minas and at Altagracia, two small settlements on tho road from Nuevitas to Puerto Principo. As usual, tho accounts vary considerably. To be? gin with tho Spanish version, according to the Diario: We have received news from Nuevitas to the 7th instant, according to which an effort to Stop tho column ot General Lesea, with tho convoy of which we IIHVO made mention al? ready, was made by very large numbers of in? surgents. Onr soldiers attacked them with their usual impetuousity, and the rebels hav? ing offered more r?sistance than usual, wo aro informed that tho result of tho combat was terrible for them. Tho trcops had one lieu? tenant-colonel, ono captain, and six eoldiers hilled and thirty wounded. The settlement of San Miguel has hoon reduced to ashos. Tho peculiar wording o' this item and the Strangeness of its character, which differs to? tally from the usual Btyle of tho Diario, gave liso to numerous conjectures, even among the partisans of the Diario-the usual announce? ment of the thousands of Cubans killed, their aptness for running away, the deified heroism Of the defenders of the faith, and the tacit ac? knowledgment that the rebels did not run away, being wanting. Tho Diario was and un? doubtedly is ashamed of this departure from its rules, and, contrite, gave another and more explicit account on thc following day, which is more Diario-like and throws moro light on the affair. Tho Diario says : On the 3d inst., about thtrteen kilometers from Puerto Principe, all the hordes composing the army of tho Camaguey, attacked Brigadier General L?sca, who, with the battalions Union Bey and Aragon, were convoying, nineteen wagons, with nineteen hundred cargas of pro? visions. The engagement lasted the entire afternoon, and three grand bayonet attacks were made, which caused terrible havoc among the inam gent H. An eye-witness calculates the number of killed at two thousand-a figure which may be somewhat exaggerated, although he repe its that the bayonet'attacks were terri? ble. On our side we l?st eight men killed and twenty-four wounded. Nearly all the wound? ed will recover, their wounds being slight. On the 80th of April Loa ca and Colonel Gayenc ohea killed "two hundred rebels at Altagracia and Bay at abo. On the 5th the band command? ed by Angel Castillo burnt San Miguel, iff the Tout has been as complete aa stated by our correspondent, the rebels will no longer be able to sustain themselves. Thus far the Diario fails to mention whether the Spaniards succeeded in their attempt to carry the provisions and convoy to Puerto Principe or not, and whether Lesea, after his Victory, (?) found himself in a position to hold his own and advance on Puerto Principe, or if lie had to retreat to Nuevitas. The rebels must undoubtedly have g lined some ad? vantage, and not have been nearly so disor ganizod as the Diario wishes us to believe, else how could they, on the day after the fight, de? tach a portion of thoir torcos and burn a town under the very nose of the Spanish land and naval forces. Tho Voz de Cuba, not so Munchausenish and 80 easily gulled as the Diario, and endowed with more common sense, speaking of this affair, and under the heading "We Doubt," says: Our distinguished colleague, the Diario,pub? lishes to-day some details abo at Lesca's en ?agements between Nuevitas and Puerto 'rincipe, saying that our loss is thirty-two, and adding that the combat lasted the whole afternoon; thal the number of killed rebels amounted to 2000, (.according to an eye-wit? ness,) and that tho battalions of Union Rey and Arragon were engaged. We are not aware by what channel tho Diario has received these details, which do not appear in General Letona's account of tho affair, although we don't care to deny their correctness; but we doubt whether the losses of the enemy are so groat as is pr3sumed, as, according to our knowledge, tho rebels never bad two thousand men together in the Central Department, and it would bs very strange if, after the many re? verses which they suffered, and the troubles among themselves, they should have been en? abled to gather the powerful army necessary to sustain a IOBS of tn o thousand men ina ?Bingle 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 tho Sierra Cnbita affair, and those published by all the Spanish journals of tho island, and accuses the Span? ish chief, who spoke of throe, fsur and five thousand mon at Cuhita, near Nuevitas, and other places, of stretching the long bow. If the Voz de Cuba ia correct in its s'.atoment, in that case all the accouuts from that vicinity have been morely exaggerated, a quality Which, by the way, they havo enjoyed inthe-J Opinion of the thinking clasaos for some time. CUBAN VERSIONS. But where so many Spanish versions are afloat thero must naturally bo also an equal number in favor of the other sido, and your correspondent has boen fortunate enough to read a letter, alleged to have been written on thc field of battle, or in its vicinity, by a young relative of tho gontleman in whose possession I saw it. I must confess that its tenor was somewhat rambling and disjointed, but there was, nevertheless, such an air of fair doaling. quaintness and real self-sacrificing patriotism in the epistle as to stamp it with tho imprint Of truth. The letter was dated at Altagracia, May 6, and written on very coarse and greasy paper. I give merely such extracts as bear on tho ongagemont with Losca, and on the ulte? rior designs of tho insurgents. On tho 80th all tho necessary arrangements had been mado and orders had boen given to he ready to surround Losca on his return from HuevitaB and annihilate bis army, not only by superiority of numbers, but also by displaying such valor UH is de nied to us by our enemies, but ie nevertheless inherent in every Cuban. Lesea waa to have arrived at the place, where ?ve expected to H ur round him on the afternoon of tho 1st, but judge of our snrpriso when we learned that our intended manoeuvre had been betrayed or else disclosed by some caroless official. Quesada wo? furious, and oalling a Council of trent ral officers, he informed them that notwithstanding the failure of his original plan, he was dot ermined to fight and whip Les? ea at any cost, liaising his voioe, he added : "Gentlemen, I mean to fight, and you will fight even if not a single man escapes the carnago SMJVO, bu? where or when, I keep to myself, and jon w?l hold yourself ready to obey auch or? ders as n>"v be handed you by my staff officers." Lu s short discourse was received with almost general satisfaction, and during tho afternoon orders were received to march toward Puerto Priooipe. A place named Ba bum W08 reached ut 5 OClOOk. During tho ni.-ht and ou tho following morning spies and a h ?mc d guarda arrived, announcing tho ap proach of Letica, thc negroes and many whites m thc meantime digging entrenchments and raiting breastworks. Lcsca's advat ce uiiard carno up at about ll o'clock, but wa? not mo? lested until it had parsed the entrenchments, when a volley was poured upon them from both siies of the road, throwing them into confu? sion. They attempted to fall back on the main body, but it wan already too late, and Lesea, seeing the danger ot his advance, advanced at a double-quick to rescue them, lu tho mean? time Quesada had placed his entire forces in available positions so as to Hank tho enemy either to the right or to tho left oblique, tho left being almost impassable, and defended by a company ol' riflemen from liayamo. Ho then organized a picket or rear guard of four bundled and fifty men, composed of Domi? nicans, Americans, and other foreigners, and Bombetas and Santa Luca's detachment of Puerto Priticiplans, and gave them orders to advance only in case of extreme nooessity, but to fire in tbc ranks of thc main body and march over them should they waver or retreat from the Spaniards. The main body, informed of those orders, stated that they alono would an? nihilate the Spaniards. By that time tho Uro had becomo general along ?he lino. Tho front rank stood coolly .under the fire; a few left the ranks and attempted to run towards thc woods, but the determined stand of thc rear guard and their undoubted intention to lire on any? one who should attempt to fly. drove the cow? ards b ck into tho lines. A small body of Que sada's forces detached themselves without or? ders from tho main body, but was quickly driven back by tho Spaniards, who advanced to attack the patriots with the bayonet, but wro repulsed. A second attaok met the samo fate, when the detachment before mentioned again left from the main body and advanoed on tho Spaniards, who with a yell atacked them and entered tho cntrouchments together with the detachment, butchering them one by one. Tho lino thus broken wavered, and everything scorned over, with a victory for the Spaniards, when Quesada ordered Colonel Lopez and Dembcta to advance with the roar guard, the very flower of the army. A rush like that of a bord of, cittlo, a singlo volley, and I saw no moro for a minute, a oistol ball having almost blinded mo anti slightly grazed my head. The advanced guard had ruu over their own army, driving thom, in their impetuosity, through the very midst of tho Spanish centre. Pacing to the right and left after discharging a volley, they then attacked tho 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 aud on tho flank of the Spaniards, kept up an incessant uro. A false report was brought to Qnesada that Letona, with fresh troops, was coming to Lesca's res cuo, but it proved unti ue. Tho day was ours and the battle won. Wo lost three hundred killed and over four hundred wounded; the Spaniards, two hundred killed and twp hun? dred aud fifty wounded, which difference must bo ascribed to their superiority in respect of weapons. Tho forces ensaged on both iidsB numbered 1800 to 1100 Spauiards, and about 3500 Cubans, many of these badly armed. This is the first, but will not be the last, ola series of engagements, which will not only deteat the plans of the Spaniards, tut make us mas tere of the situation, and place the wholo of the Central and Eastern Departments, with ijaany slic?B from the cinco villas in our posses? sion, before the rainy season has fairly com? menced. This is the substance of the lotter, and I have given it as nearly as possible in the same words. To listen to a Spaniard for a few minutes, one becomes convinced that io a few weeks the revolution will be over; they have at least got to believing it themselves. Listen to a Cuban and he will produce sufficient docu? ments and dates to show conclusively that the Spaniards will loso and bc compelled to leave the island in a few months, or a year at tho furthest. Both parties are undoubtedly sincere wuon they express their determination to re? duce the island to a mountain of ashes before allowing the enemy to possess ic; and if past actions are to guide us, and the character ol both factions be taken into account, woe to the island and its people, as neither party will be able to restore what they have destroyed. Only the future will tell whether these sanguinary plans will be carried into effect, or if these threats are merely tho ebullition of the heated brain of an excitable race, quick to plan, but obi how slow to'execute.

May ll_ruths AYEirS SARSAPARILLA, FOR PURIFYING THE OL03 1> . THE REPUTATION this excellent medicine en? joys, is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvellous. Invete? rate eases of S crol ni ons disease, where the system seemed saturated with corrupilon, have been pu? lir] cd aud cured by it. Scrofulous affections and . disorders, which were ag? gravated by tho scrofu? lous contamination until they were painfully afflictlug, have been radical.y cured in such great number* in alinr ft every section of the country, that the public scarcely need to b? informed of its virtues or use?. Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often thiB unseen and unfelt tenant of tho organiciu 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 tlirough tho body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develops into one or other ol its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In tho latter, tubercles may bo suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of tho body. Hence the occasional uso of a bottle of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Per? sons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and, at leagth, cure, by the ?te of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony's Fire, ose or nrysipeias, letter, Salt Rlieuui, BCUIU ueaa; Ring Worm, ?ore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other erup? tions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also, in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Dh ease. Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the va? rious ulcerous affections of the muscular and ner? vous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by lt, though a long time is required for sub during these obstinate maladu s by auy medicine. But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint. Leucorrhcea or Whites, Uterine Ul? cerations and Female diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Directions for each case are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. ^UJicu matism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion 01 Inflammation of the Liver and Jaundice, when aris? ing, as they elton do, from the rankling poisons in the blood. This 8ARSPARILLA is a great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
