Not more than 100 Chinese guests were admitted to the grounds on which the celebration planned for the reception of the American officers and sailors was held, and resentment at the severe measures to exclude the natives was the cause of the apathy. The British consul issued a circular stating that the local officials have de clined to issue more than 60 passes to the inclosure to British subjects and that in consequence he refused to accept one.
