CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS.

CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS.
HAVANA, May 1.-the usual accounts of engage
ments between the Spaniards and Cubans have been
received. all of which magnifed and arranged to
suit both parties. Charges Of atrocities assassina-
tOns and crimes are made by the journals and by
private letters. Altogether. the news far re-
ceived is unreliable and the fighting according to
impartial correspondents, Insignificant.
DISPATCHES FROM ADMIRAL HoFF-EvERYTHING
QUIET AT HAVANA-UNFAYORABLE VIEWS
OF THE PROSPECTS OF THE INSTRUCTION.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 14.-Admiral Hoff writes
to the Department from Havana 9th inst, an.
nouncing that he would be absent from that port for
few days to relieve the Narraganset at Key West,
and for change of air for the officers and crew.
He had just received information from Commander
Fillebrown, at Key West, that the English steamer
Salvador, supposed Cuban prvateer which our
naval forces have been watching for some time, at
the instance of the Government has cleared for ST.
Thomas via Nassau, without arms OF munitions Of
war of any description. Everything at Havana was
remarkably quiet. The Spanish authorities seem
confident of suppressing the rebellion before the ex-
piration of the year.
The rainy season now coming on precudes the pos
sbty of any active operations. The probability is
that no active operations Of any Importance in the
interior of either party will be made at
present, In conversation with Cubans
who we're at one time sanguine of success, Admiral
Ho says that those in the Havana end of the island
are dissatisfied from the fact that the revolution las
not been conducted in manner to coincide with
their views. There is little or no organization
among them, although they claim that the cause OF
their present inactivity is owing to their forces be-
ing exercised and instructed in the use Of arms pre-
paratory for a campaign at the close of the rainy
season. Gems. s. Cespedes and Quesada are acting
independently, and have their own separate forces
and adherents. Mr. Hail. Consul General, and the
Commodore of the English feet. seem to think that
the instruction is being crushed, and in few weeks
it will consist of nothing bnt irregular bands Of out
laws scattered through the interior.
The Peruvian monitor, Nance Capac, reported rs
lost has arrived at st. Thomas, and the Of her
convoy, the Monterey, sunk some time since by
collision, sailed from Havana on the 5th inst, on a
French steamer bound to Newt Orleans. The Spanish
Admiral. English Commodore and Captains of the
North German and Dutch man-Of-war had arrived,
and the customary sautes and cOurtesies had been
exchanged between Admiral Hoff and the naval
representatives of these nations.
