Report from Rear Admiral Hoff-Excesses of the Volunteers Described—The Peruvian Monitors—Proclamation of Captain General Dulce—The Capture of the American Brig Mary Lowell—Movements of the Squadron. WASHINGTON, April 2, 1869. The Navy Department to-day received several despatches from Rear Admiral Hoff, command- img the North Atlantic squadron. They are dated Key West, 26th ult. He reports that on Sunday, the 2ist of March, Havana was the scene of much ex- citement caused by the departure of 250 political prisoners for Fernando Po. There was a great con- course of people witnessing their departure; the ‘volanteers having to keep the crowd back. One of the soldiers ordered a citizen to stand back, which he could not do im consequence of the pressure behind him; words ensued, and soldiers ffired on bim, killing him instantiy. A police oficer demanded ‘why this was done, a discussion followed, and he ‘was also killed. Several arrests were made, one for shouting viva ‘“Cespedes,” and another for having a Cuban flag in his possession. Both were tried, con- 4emned and shot the same day. The transports, ‘with prisoners, sailed in the afternoon. Admiral Hoff encioses extracts from Nassau Papers reiative to the arrival of one of the Peruvian monitors at Kagged Island with the survivors of the wreck of her convoy, The ram, while on the way from Key West, with a vessel in tow, the hawser which connected them parted; and then, while en- deavoring to make fast again, steamed into the ves- éel and sunk her. Seven lives were lost. The whereabouts of the other Peruvian ram was un- known. A proclamation was issued on the 24th by the Captain General of Cuba reiative to blockade runners, of veaseis seized in Spanish waters, or upon the free seas near Whe island, with cargoes of men and arms and ammunition, or material that may in any way Contribute to promote or foment the Msurrection in the province. Whatever may be the point of their procedure and destination, and after pre- vious examination of their papers and register, they ‘will in effect be considered a8 enemies to our ter- ritory, and treated as pirates in accordance with the ordinance of the navy. All persons wiio shail be ap- prehended in such vessels, in Whatever number they may be, will be immediately shot. Rear Admiral Hoff encloses such reports as had reached him of the capture of the American brig Mary Lowell, of New York, by the Spanish wart Steamer Andalusia at Ragged Island, off the Baha- mas. It appears that the master of the brig had left her and gone to New York for instructions, leaving the vessel in charge of a Custom House ofiicer at Ragged Island, March 16. ! Mr, Wilson, Custom House officer and pilot, was Moving the brig from the man-of-wars’ achorage to the inner harbor, when the Spanish steamer took (possession of her and sailed of, carrying her to Ha- vana. Admiral Hoff reached Havana March 27, and found the Mary Lowell in port, He was unable togive further information regarding the seizure than was communicated from Key West, as the mail steamer was about leaving for New York. It is ‘thought that the Spanish government will tmmedi- ately disavow the act, and it will be found that the commander of the Andalusia had exceeded his in- mructions or acted upon his own responsibility. ‘The Narragansett was at Havana; tho Penobscot ‘was at Cienfuegos, having visited within a few days ‘the ports of Trinidad de Cuba and Tunas, JAMAICA AND HAYTI The Stenmer Mount Vernon at Kingston Bloodshed in Hayti. Havana, April 2, 1860, Advices from Kingston, Jamaica, of 23th ult., state that the steamer Mount Vernon was there, ‘Tho United States Consul at Port au Prince pro- nounces her piratical because she carried munitions #0 St. Maric, and that she intends to return, hoist Haytien colors and attack Sainave. United States Consul Grega, at Kingston, is watching her. ‘The British Minister at Port au Prince represents to Gommander Philiimore that Salnave examined the mail, breaking the seais of the steamer Ofiba, and in consequence there had been many arreste and some of tite prisoners were shot. Two war ateamers had been sent to demand reparation, and the result: will probably be serious. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY APRIL 3, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET. MEXICO.
