The dispute" about the cemetery is still unsettle. The British Consul, after holding aloof at the outset, has quietly got different contributions nised, but he still claims that, being the British Consul, he is trustee of the cemetery, ant he refuses to recognise one of the oldest and most respected residents, who was one of the original subscribers before the Consul ever came to China, and has been one of the trustees. This resident, however, is American. The Americins claim that the cemetery is for all nationalities, and that others than British should be represented on the Bowd of Trustves.
