THE SAN JUAN AFFAIR.
/ find that opinions differ wnlely with the
Oregonians on board, in reference to the San
Juan affair Whilst all admit that the Ca

3 o'clock p. NJ. on Saturday. remarking
that lie would shortly return, but took the
river steamer to Vancouver. When we
anchored at Vancouver on Sunday, nothing
