Loue Fook was walking upstairs when his

He staggered against house few doors

as 1 thought, fatally hurt, he drew his

take the pistol and kill the man who shot
him.
'I saw the weapon passed, but no at

whom it was given. At this juncture Spe-
cial Oficer Duf1eld came along, but by
this time the man who did the shooting

would be able to identity the assassins
in case they are arrested"
The police are at a loss to account for
the bloody outbreak of the rival tongs.
Fook was a Pin Kong Tong man and was
known as "a fearless fellow. About six
months ago he shot and killed a fellow
countryman in Sullivan alley. but was ac-
quilted by jury in the Superior Court.
The friends of his victim since then have
been anxious for chance to put him out

was placed on his head but he supposed
that 1t had been withdrawn when the
treaty of peace" was signed by the war
ring highbinders Skeptical Of the sim
cerity Of the signers of the treaty."
Fook never travelled the streets of China
town without an armed bodyguard. Both
of the murdered men were peacefully in
clined and so far as is known were not
connected with any highbinder tong. They
were, however, friendly with Fook and
frequently championed his cause
As soon as Captain Seymour learned OF
the shooting he sent all his available men
into Chinatown to prevent further hos
tilities if possible. Chief Whitman also
detailed a large squad to search every
Chinaman for weapons. In a short time
the officers arrested half a dozen high
binders who were heavily armed and bent
on avenging the shooting of Little Loue.

Government Force Repulsed.
Government soldiers last night renewed
the fighting. They started from San
Pablo. crossed the Barbacoas bridge and
proceeded toward Bohia soldado. where
the insurgent force was intrenched. Rebel
pickets soon decried the enemy. and an
engagement, which lasted all night, was
begun. Owing to the better position of
the revolutionists the Government soldiers
were repulsed.
The federal force renewed the attack at
s o'clock in the morning and fighting
lasted about an hour.
1t is reported by some Of the insurgents
that the Government troops shot some Of
their badly wounded men and also several
prisoners 1t is also said that they rifed
the clothes Of their dead comrades.
The revolutionists are still holding an
important position at Bohia soldado. Cen
eral Barrera is in command. The Govern
ment force is intrenched in Buena Vista.
There is great rejoicing in the rebel
camp over the failure Of General Adams

W. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The reoc-

cause the early withdrawal Of American
bluejackets from the isthmus.

that the Liberals were victorious in their

him to take the pistol and shoot down

The friend took the revolver, but instead
Of using it he placed 1t in his pocket and

the shooting Sergeant Conboy and Police

ran into an alley and vainly endeavored
