Fair point about calling them savages, I suppose, but I see no reason to delete the adjective 'head-hunting'. They were indeed head-hunters, and it was their irritating habit of taking the heads of Chinese plain dwellers that inspired Liu Ming-ch'uan to use them against the French instead.
A western eyewitness saw French heads exhibited at a market in Taiwan, after being cut from the corpses. Westerners in Taiwan contacted the Chinese officers to remind them of conduct regarding war dead after the incident. The paragraph may be quoted verbatim as an introduction to a section on Taiwan, but not used as an independent source.
