SUCH PUNISHMENT AS MAY BEFALL CAPTURED "YOUNG CHINAMEN."," t . CHARACTERISTIC CHINESE WARNINGS TO THE EVIL-DOER: HEADS FROM DECAPITATED OFFENDERS HANGING IN CAGES AGAINST A WALL BY THE GATE OF A CHINESE TOWN., Whether or no revolutionists captured by the Government will be decapitated remain to be seen but it would not be surprising were some of their heads to be exhibited in the manner here shown. It may certainly be taken as very unlikely that any rebels caught red-handed will he treated with over-great respect. especially if it be true, as is generally, stated and believed, that many Manchus have been massacred. For the Manchu, who conquered the Chinese some three hundred years ago, have been their masters since, and have had special privileges. The ruling dynasty is, of course, Manchu. but there has always been a more or less latent animosity against them.
