ADMIRAL HOFFS DISPATCHES-CUBAN SUCCESS
THE FILIBUSTERs.
Admiral Hoff writes from Matanzas at date OF
May o. that he was much surprised to find that the
feeling of animOsity between the volunteers and the
Cuban element was much less bitter than lie had
been led to expect in Havana In fact, from appear
ances stranger in Matanzas would never suspect
that revolution was raging in the island; and
American commerce. which is quite extensive here,
is unmolested.

gents attacked the convoy of train, defeated them
and destroyed the bridges the Spaniards had built,
and captured 43 officers and men, including colonel
This is the only decided of the revoutonsts
that has been recently reported. The Admiral has
been informed that Gen. Lesca, Governor of Puerto
Principe has been removed by the Captain-G General
for alleged crueties, in bombardng camp composed
Of women and children, and Gen. LetOna ordered
to succeed him. This action has caused great discon-
tent among the Havana volunteers.
At Guantanamo on the north side, near the eastern
end of the Island the nsuTTecOn is said to be exceed
ingy strong in consequence of the successful land
ing of expeditions in that district, and that in a
recent engagement with the Spaniards the latter
were defeated. One thing is positive however, and
that is the actual supposed successful landing OF
these expeditions has infused life into the insur-
rcction, that to all appearance was dying out some
two weeks ago.

WASHINGTON June 5.--The representatives OF the
Cuban patriots here assert that in a brief time
Bolivia Venezuela and several Of the South Amerl-
can States will follow the example of Peru in recog

American States and it is said there is but little
doubt of his success.
