I'D HUNG Chang Cuts TheIr Heads ON.


London, August "a letter from
Hong Kong, dated July 2, represents
order at Canton by virtual reign
of terror, rendering him well-hated
by the disorderly elements. He had
ruthleslly prevented anything in the
nature of public meeting, and thus
effectually prevented any one of the
various parties, all of them animated
by hatred of foreigners, coming to-
gether to plan a rising. During one
week he had executed by strangling
or beheading. seventy persons, and it
is asserted that during his viceroy-
atty no less than 1000 were executed.
All suspects, innocent and guilty
alike. We're thrown into prison indis-
cri1ninately, which, in a majority of
cases was tantamount to execution.
