WHITE MAN IN THE CASE

HIS ASSAILANTS.

Yet Recover.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Dec. A.-There was a shoot
Ing scrape in the Sixth-street Chinatown
this morning about o'clock which re-
suited in the serious wounding OF Fong
Ling. prominent member of the Hip
Sing Tong. The affair occurred at the
clubhouse of the Hip Sing Tong. Five
Chinese, believed to be members OF the
Wong faction, and white were engaged
In the fight clever ruse was adopted
to bring Fong Ling to the door, when
general fusillade of shots was discharged
at him
The assassins knocked at the door OF
the clubhouse about o'clock. Ling in
quired who was there. and the white man
replied that II was the Sheriff and asked
admittance Fong Ling opened the door.
whereupon the Chinese opened fire on
MIN, some dozen shots being fired Ling
received bullet through the right cheek
and another through the right shoulder
their escape before they were detected
Although Lings wounds are of a serious
nature, II Is not thought they Will result
seriously. There was another Chinese in
the clubhouse al the time. but he was so
frightened he remained in his bunk and
failed 10 see the highbinders. The police
and Sheriff responded promptly but were
unable 10 find any clew TO the men.
OF late the Wongs and Hip Sing tongs
have been carrying on warfare, and in
the last three months have engaged IN
not less than twenty-five nights. month

these disturbances. They incite the Chin

following from it's military expert:
What should be our thoughts this

both parties have for many years lived
IN an unreal world, where war as strug-
gle for existence In behalf Of just cause
had no existence. The consequence has
been that fighting services have not been
managed with view to such a war. and
the public now suspects the present gener-
alton Oh politicians To be tainted with
untrue-or. al least, careless-views OF
war and policy.
THE case. then. is that OF people in
a healthy condition, but badly led. the
leaders having got into the way OF looking
back TO their followers for guidance, thus
showing themselves unequal 10 their
