ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN FRANcIsco, March 4.-The Chinese
residents Of the city are much excited
about the mass meeting to be held here to-
day. They pretend to feel alarmed lest
some excited persons should suggest and
offer to lead a raid through Chinatown.
Nothing Of the kind is probable, nor is it
feared or in any measure anticipated by
the gentlemen instigating the meeting, nor
by the police authorities. The Chinese
merchants held a long conference yester-
day for the purpose Of discussing the
question. As a result Of the meeting they
sent the following dispatch to the Tung
Yah Hospital in Hong Kong, which is
similar to our Exchange here:
March 8. To Tung Wah Hospital, Hong
Kong: There is great excitement here
against SO many of our countrymen now
coming. Use all your power to stop them,
and save US trouble.
The anti Chinese demonstration this af-
ternoon bids fair to be a great success.
