The Chinese rebellion
EXECUTION OF OFFICIAL
How the Leaders Carried
on the Warfare for
Years.

"Official farms. land that belonged to
men who had part in the rebellion and
have since either fed or have been ex-
|etuted, are now being taken up by the
Chinese officials of Kwangsi and farm
ed, writes a correspondent of the South
China Post from the western part of
the province of Kwangsi. AS the re-
suit Of the rebellion lasting several
years and Of so many people being ex-
ecuted in the settlement, it has been
the general belief that this part of the
province is depopulated wilderness,
but such we found is not the case. On
the contrary 1t compares in population
with any other part. Liu Chico is the
chief city. 1t was in this city, in the
Taotai's yamen, that the biggest vic
tory of the rebels took place.
The head leaders had come in and
were going to make themselves respon-
sible to stop the rebellion. The Taotai
had sent for them, promising If they
would surrender he would make. them
officials and they should not be punish
ed, While at Liu Chico word came from
the viceroy in Canton to have them
sent down unarmed as he wanted to
see them. At this they saw through the
plot and knew that the viceroy meant
foul play, that he would get them
down there and then take their heads
off. They saw that under the circum-
stances they were forced to turn rebels
again. 1t was an easy matter for them
as they were already in the city, and
the rebellion began right in the Taotais
yamen.
One of the rebel leaders, wanting to
befriend the officials, came and told
them he was afraid there was going to
be trouble and that they had better get
into hiding. This cost him his life, as
the other rebel leaders were displeased
with him for giving warning and when
they learned of It they went to him
and after demonstrating shot him dead
where he stood. The officials were well
hidden away and safe.
The rebel chief was later arrested
and taken to Kweilin, the capital, and
executed by order of the viceroy. He
had been imprisoned IN the magistrate's
