, ra;tor ~ the New York Herald:

Tahe Editor Of the New York Herald:
Gl. Lopez de Queralta, in his letter to
yo published in to-day's issue, states
his doubts as to the election OF citizen
Jua Sporturno as President Of the Re-
pubic of Cuba, basing his assertions
upo. the fact that no official commllni-
catip has as yet reached us regarding
said,Iection. Col. Queralto has no doubt
forgotten that the elections lately held
to cnstitute the House Of Repre-
sentaiyes had for its main object the
electin OF President Of the Bepubilc
for tn purpose OF putting an end to the
evils rsulting from a long protracted
vacany OF the office, and has also for
gotten;hat about the middle OF Novem-
Der las the House Of Representatives
was to ssemble for said election. With
such anecedents, confirmed by letters
from representatives dated 18th and
18th Of Eovember last, in which, though
they recgnize the virtues and merits OF
General .guilera, they do not consider
him possessed OF the qualities required
at this prsent moment to fill the office,
there is q reason to doubt the advices
received " last steamer from Havana
of the eleGon of citizen Sporturno to the
Presidenc. of the Republic.

Camp Ground Destroy ed by Fire.

PIrrsBURau. April 22-Intelligence
rersived in this city,t morning. states
that tho Methodist camp meeting grounds
at Tarentum, II, have been destroyed
by fire. The FIRE broke out about II
O'Clock last night, and as the cottages
were all frame the flames spread with
frightful rapidity. The Tarentum
grounds have been owned by the Melho
dist OF this vicinity for many years and
the cottages belonging to members of the
church in this city arc numerous. The
grounds contained one hundred and fifty
cottages, which were generally of four
or five rooms, of neat architectural de-
sign, and many were completely furnished
except bed clothing. The only buildings
saved, according to present advces, were
the tenant house, occupied by the super
iatendent, and the Camp Hotel. The
fire will probably be very disastrous
one, and may seriously interfere with the
arrangements for the National Cam
paign meeting, which was announced to
be held on the grounds III August. The
origin of the Are is at present unknown,
but supposed to be the work OF an incen-
diary. Loss about S500OO; insurance
about $4,000.

oftheir scarcity the injustice is not abated
Here is how the thing works: The
