Yokohama, Japan, July Considerable
excitement exists in consequence Sc.
the British minister's interference with the
japanese quarantine regulations. Cholera
prevails IN southern parts, and strict
quarantine has been ordered for Yokos
hama. The United States minister issued
immediate instructions for the compliance
of Americans. The British minister de-
MED the right of the Japanese on account
of the extra territorial jurisdiction, and de-
clared that any English ship should break
the quarantine and be protected in doing
so by British man-Ofwar. Owing to in
dignant remonstrances from influential
quarters, especially from Gov. Henneerea
of Hong Kong. now visiting Japan, the
British minister modified his attitude and
consents to cooperate with the Japanese,
but still asserts his right to break quar-
rantine at that place. The German min
lister supports him. All other diplomatic
/ representatives are absent except the Rus
sian, who sided with the American.
Gen. Grants reception at Toxic was un-
precedented in Japanese history. In ad-
dition to government demonstrations the
citizens have given lavish entertainments
on sumptuOus scale. Every day and
night fresh novelties are open for his di-
version. At an audience before the EN-
peror on July fourth. his majesty happily
alluded to the coincidence of date. The
sole obstacle to harmony is caused by the
demeanor of the English officials, who
4 1persistently keep aloof from Grant, and
decline to give salutes or recognition. 1t
Is not clearly understood whether this is
in consequence of orders from home or
otherwise. There is much comment on
their action, and it is distinctly known
that Grant is keenly sensitive to the
slight. Grant visits the shrines of Mikko,
and afterwards sails to Yezo. He starts
for America on the last week of August.
