THE SGHEJJEHS SppD OUT I The "Herald's" Position Sustained the Stenographic Report. by PREVARICATING 'HEWS' SCRIBBLER The Files of Their Own Paper Turned Against Them as Evidence That They Published Testimony of One Side of the Bogftrt Case Only. With the Indulgence of our readers, we are compelled to refer briefly to the school trouble. The Coal stteet sheet, In a weak and pitiful effort to cover up its own tracks, accuses the HKBAtb of publishing garbled reports of the Ilogart trial. Wo deny this statement, and our readers will hear us out j iu the assertion. We gave the testimony of j the witnesses for the prosecution, Including Mr. and Mrs. Vates and their daughter, as full and correct as wm possible considering the distant point at which the trial waa held. This testimony appeared in the IIkbald of Thursday and Friday, omitting only that wliloh Is deemed by All self-respecting pub lishers as totally unfit for publication and which no father or mother would desire nor permit to reach the hands of their children ; and which tho Coal street sheet, true to its base sensational instincts, is reveling In to its own satisfaction. That the public appre ciate tho course of tho Hebald in this re spect is fully shown by mutilated oopies of the above mentioned sheet lying on tho streets and tho expressions of condemnation by the people of Shenandoah In general because of this base disregard of the proprieties of journalism. In our reports of the trial wo gave as much, if not more space to tho prosecution than to tho defense, tho correctness of which is clearly shown by the fact that it is corrob orated by the stenographic report and that appearing in all tbo Pittsburg papers, with out a singlo exception, Whatevor may bo tho outcomo ot the trial, tho Hehald has tho satisfaction of knowing that it has treated Its readers fair in giving them the facts as testified to before court, without garbling it to satisfy the tastes or desires of others. We are truly sorry we cannot say as much fur the Coal street publication. It is only necessary to select one issue, that of Thurs day last, to show that they misrepresented thocasonnd put words in tho witnesses' mouths that they never uttered. It lies In stating that Director Ewlng corroborated tho testimony, of Mr. Bailey, and basely mis represents the accused when it says that "Mr. Ilogart denied that ho attended tho meeting of tho Knoxville School Board" and that "he admitted that ho had removed tho pin from Clara Yates' clothing and had pullod up her stockings." Their own witnesses testified that he had attended the meeting, and the stenographer's report shows ho denied both these charges. This shows conclusively that Jbe Coal street sheet is guilty of misrepresenting facts, and makes tho chargo against othois.only to cover up their own sins. They publish the statement of Mr. Bailey that the Board demanded Bogart's resignation, iu italics, but loave out the testimony of all tho Directors in which they testified that the defendant first sug gested his resignation; and their further testimony that Mr. Vates "appeared before the Board and wanted to drop tho matter, as ho saw it in a different light now." This thoy entirely omit, and the sheet has not yet told Its readers that the charge of rape, which it has ail along contended was true, was struck out by Judge White for insufficient evidence. If thoy published these facts it would vindi cate Messrs. Price aud Beddall, the committee investigating the case, which tho paper will avoid If possible. Our readers can readily see who is garb ling the testimony, aud further comment is unnecessary to prove this. Tho indignation of the good people of Shenandoah over the publication of the ob scene testimony, iu the sheet on Coal stroet, knows uo bounds. The Herald nutlclpatod thisjust condemnation by the fathers and mothers of the community when It decided to obliterate it from its report. We havo no reply to make to tho display of spleen on the part of the self-styled "irre sponsible" who represents in Shenandoah a Mahanoy City paper. From his wild vapor ings it is evident that our correspondent of yesterday knew what he was talking about when ha stated that the two sheets had entered into a secret compact to attack the Hehald on general principles In order to counteract the just chargo of sensationalism. The editorial our "wandering" friend com plains abouv aud which in his pomposity thinks referred to him, if it will case his onscience any, we will condescend to In form him that ho is barking up the wrong tree. In the first place, the Herald is not gunning for small game; it's aftor bear. What tho American's Shenandoah correspondent-may say or think cuts a very small figure In this town; a circulation of less than a half hundred papers is hardly deemed worthy of notice, even If we had conde scended to refer to the gentleman whose grief apparently knows no hounds. But, then,, tho fact that he assumes himself to be at tacked may be part of tho secret compact those two papers have entered into, in order that the person at whom the Hkkald's darts were aimed may be shielded from the just criticism he received at our hands. No, Mr. American correspondent, when we have oc- oasion to pay our respects to you, it will not be necessary to draw inferences; you and the public will know it. But, apparently, the shoes fits you, judging from your eflortoto wear it. We refrain from further comment on this matter, and would not now call attention to it only to show the inconsistency of certain publications, in that they are guilty of that which they so freely charge others with. We leave the whole matter In the hands of tho school authorities and the courts; allow ing those who delight iu obscena literature and banquets, to revel in such delights aud gloat over the downfall of mankind. The IIkkai.d has a higher motive, and will for bear the baser Instincts of human nature. Charles Fowler, an employe of the News, called at the IIsbami office this morning aud requested that we publish au affidavit deny ing, as asserted by a correspondent in these columns, that he said the News would pub lish a communication signed "Protestaut." We refuted publication for the reason that Mr. Fowler's denial is immaterial, as he does not, in his affidavit, deny the material points at issue, namely, that the conversation was held and that the two papers entered into the compact as asserted. We informed him, howover, that we would publish a statemeut from him, oouched iu proper language, and he left with the remark that he would pre pare such a statement and prsaeut It for pub lieatlou this afternoon. Up to the boar of goiug to press we nave neither seeu nor ' heard from the gentleman. THAT BACHELOR DINNER. "Little ltgypt" Testifies Defore tho New York I'ollen Hoard. Nkw Yohk, Jan. 18. The trial of Po lice Captain Chapman hy the police board was continued yesterday, and "Little Kgypt," the Algerian muscle dancer, wm the star witness. Captain Chapman is oharged with exceeding his authority by making a midnight raid Dec. IS on Sher ry's ball room, where Herbert B. Seeley, r. grandson of P. T. Baruum, wm enter taining a score of friends at a stag dinner with a vaudeville aooompanliiient, whloh Chapman olalmed was Indecent. Captain Chnpninn subpcBiined all the women who danced at the dinner, aud all of the diners. He began his defense last Friday by oall Iiir Anna Ilelle Whitford, who testified that she had been asked to dance naked Mt the dinner; that she had refused, and told her father, who notified Chapman. Lottie Mortimer, a vaudeville performer, repeated an Indecent toast she offered, to whloh the Seeley party drank. She also told of the liberties the diners took with her, and of the indecent or suggestive Christmas presents that Minnie Kenwood, nnother dancer, distributed to the guest. Miss Hen wood, dressed ag Trilby, repre sented "Santa Claus Up to Date." and to her person whs pinned signs not altogether proper. Minnie Kenwood's testimony corroborated Miss Mortimer's. Yesterday Captain Chapman went on the stand and told his story of the raid, narrating how he found eight women and four men in tho dressing room, the women "very much undressed." Little Egypt, or Ashee Wnba, told In broken language how she was engaged to do a little dance and pose on a pedestal as nn Egyptian slave, wearing a bracelet on her ankle, but otherwise naked. She said sho would do so, "for the sake of art" Slio told how the Seeley guests plied her with wine and lifted her and pinched her limbs. The attorneys who questioned her could evidently have brought out a more revolting story, for she was nu eagor wltnosa Tho trial is not yet onded. The district attorney hns stated thot he will examine tho minutes of tho trial, and if the ovl dence justifies such action ho will lay tho matter before tho grand jury.

Hit Report That There Are Only Five Hundred Insurgents In the Province of Pinar del Mo Disproved by Latest Developments. Key West, Fla.. Jan. 13. According to auvices reroiten nere irom Havana government does not allow news of the miming ul pmiibnwuun, ew., u im iiiu iir.nmi,uiib it is swtuMi uii rmiauie nuuitiniiy that if tho government allowedthe grind ing of cane in Havana provinos the plan let's would not be able to make 10,000 hogs heads of sugar, because, from eight miles out of Havana as far as Mathnias, noarly nil the sugar cane has be iu burned. General Weyler asserts that there are only 600 Insurgents In the province of Plnar del Kio, but the Cubans say that he will shortly repent having made suoh a statement. There Is no doubt that the in surgents have suffered greatly from sick ness and other onuses, but it Is claimed that should the Spanish commander only partly withdraw his troops from the west ern part of I'lnnr dul Rio the insurgents will again concentrate In large bodies, having only scattered Into small groups for the present In order to escape the over whelmingly largo force sent ngnlust them. Only a few weeks ago the onptntu gen eral admitted that there were still 3,000 men under arms against the government In Plnar del Itio. Hut tho troops have certainly not brought baok with them from tho mountains 3,000 machetes, much loss 8,000 rllles nnd tho necessary ammuni tion. The CubiuiB claim that all suoh statements are directed from Madrid for tho purposo of Influencing congressional iiHiuuu ii. it asiiiugLuu, uuu. mere is guuu Teasou to believe that such is the case. By apparently showing the paclfloation of I'luurdel IUo the Spaniards undoubtedly hopd to prevent any recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans. As a matter of faot, by the death of Macao, there seems to be little or no change In the situation when compared with what it was a year ago, unless It Is that the Cubans have more confidence, more arms and more ammunition than over before, nnd that they are currying the warfare close to the gates ot Havana. Suoha statu of aftilrsls likely to continue, from all appearances, until tho Spaniards nre exhausted financially and compelled to agree to all or uuarly all the demands of the Cubans. The luttor nre playing n Blow but sure waiting game, and thoy can afford to do so, for It Is apparent to every disinterested spectator of the strugglo that this polloy must win sooner or later. A great deal, of course, depends upon Maximo Gome and the progress hlsurmy will make during tho next fow weeks or so. Hut it is not thought likely that Go mez will risk a pitched battlo with tho Spaniards when lie can probably accom plish tho oud In view without taking uny such chances. However, tho Cubans ox- peet military nows of Importance shortly, ag it u understood that they havo been ad ylsai by the New York junta that the mo. ment Is opportune for a coup of soma kind wnicn will bo ot importance onough to demonstrate that General Woyler is not stating the exact facts whon ho says that tho province of Plnar del Rio Is paolfled, nnd that he Is now proceeding to accom plish the paclfloation of the Island of Cuba. Tho Insurgents have been frequently taunted by the Spaniards, and the fact has boon much commented upon In the United States that the insurgents do not possoss a single town of any importance. This 1b susceptible of an easy explanation. It Is almost Impossible for forces laoklng In urtlllery to capture rortitled towns pro vided with 'an ubundanoe of artillery and plenty of ammunition for the same. But now the Insurgent leaders have lieen pro vided with a few field pieces, which, al though they may not ho of sufllolontly large oallbor to bo used as siege guns, may shortly bo utilized In a manner which will astonish tho Spanish, who have hitherto enjoyed considerable Immunity owing to having the monopoly of artillery of tho island. During recent months thlnirs havo been made more equal, and tho Insur gents nre not placed at the same disadvan tages that they wore twelve months ago. Smith nuil Whlto Fight to a Draw. Nbw York, Jan. 13. The twenty-five round bout between Solly Smith of Los Angeles nnd Tommy Whlto of Chicago, whloh took place at tho Bohemian Sport ing olub here last night, resulted in n draw.

"White had the advantage in height, but Solly counteracted thts by his wonderful strong and aggressive work. Ho swung und jabbed with both hands, and it looked as If he would have won twioe during tho mill when he staggered White with right orosses nn the jaw. White's cleverness nldod him avoiding Smith's vloousnees and he frequently stopped the Callfornlan with left hand jabs on tho faoe aud neck.
