American residents of Japan is excited
by repeated and apparently studied dis
cOurtesies to the American flag ON the
part of British naval officers. The
American ship Swatara left Yokohama,
hOmewafd bound, July 9th, and was
saluted, according to custom, by the
war ships of every nationality except
English. The British feet at Yokohama
was sent away ON the I'd of July last,
and remained at sea over the Fourth,
thus avoiding the necessity for salute.
Similar incidents were of constant Oc-
currence during Grants visit, and the
determination of British army officers
at HongkOng to withhold saluteS ON

cause of difference between those officers
and Sir John Hennessey, who shows a

si0ns. It is claimed ON behalf Of Brit

lated by orders from London.
