—Ledto review the war of 1812, the Boston Tranecript sums it up in & con, cluding paragraph as follows: “The history of the war of 1812 is nos On its landward side pleasant reading for Ameri- cans. Glory waswon on the ocean and the lakes, where ihe jivgoes bad not looked for it, but the story of,the wer on land is one of disaster, in some respects disgrace~ ful, redeemed by one signal victory at New Orleane after the treaty of peace had been signed. The expedition against Canada ended in disaster, and the United States, with its capital city captured and burned, found itself on the defensive. The ardor of the warbawks rapidly cooled, and tbe treaty of peaceZsigned Dec. 24, 1314, was as fully welcome to them—tbough accept- ed'with a senseof shame and mortifica- tiun—as to the rejoicing Federalist. In 1812 the cry was war at any cosi;jin 1814, peace almost on any terms was welcomed. I: bas been generally accepted that the war stopped'where it began. ‘fhe whole ques~ tion of impressments aad neutral rights, the sole ostensible occasion of war, was left out of the treaty entirely.”

Two British Warships Sailed From

Vancouver Yesterday.

[Spxciat ro Tue Examinxer.]

Vancouver, Jaly 9.—Rumors are very persistent and partially confirmed that an armoured cruiser, flying the Spanish flag, is hovering around the northern part of Vavcouver Island, waiting for the St. Micheel’s treasure steamers Roanoak and St. Paul, due from St. Michaels.

The British Amphion and Icarus sailed yesterday, several days before their asiling dates.

It is thought that the Vice—Admiral of the Eequimault fleet bas considered the rumors of sufficient importance to give chase to the privateer.

SIEGE OF SANTIAGO.

ago is said to be larger proportionally to to the forces engaged than that of the Germans or French in any battle of the Fravco-German war; and if Ricbard Harding Davis is to be believed, the situation is for them still exceedingly critical, Writing from the front he says:

“The troops should never have been sent here without the entire force of artil-~ lery at Tampa, and until it can neither advance nor retreat.~They can only lie on their faces or be shot at if they rise.

‘They have been in tae most cruel heat and wet with frequent showers for three days. They are unable to move about. They are under an unceasing fire.

Even the strongestjand the bravest cannot stand such a strain lovg. Lack of speech, of exercise, of food and of tobacco, and the incessant fire of bullets and sharpocl will destroy any constitution.

Missions in Japan.

Rey. Dr. Carman, general superinten- dent ot the Methodist Church, has arrived at Toronto trom bis trip to Japan, taken by order of the Foreign Mission Board. Dr. Carman arrived in Japan on May 3rd. and lefc the sbores of the *Crysanthemum kingdom” on June 17th. During his stay there he spoke three or four times every day and travelled hundreds of miles. Dr. Carman _ started from Tokio on May Sth, travelled around the north coast of the island, then 300 cr 400 miles east, and finaliy back to Tokio, where he

attended » confereace then in session at the capital. He aleo attended the mission council which met after the conference. After his s:ay at Tok‘o, Rev. Dr. Carman set out for Kyoto and Ozaka, visiting the missions of allthechurches as he proceeded. In reply to # question, Rev. Dr. Carman states that he visited the Japan missions with a special purpose, but would not say wha’ it was, as he believed his first report should be made to the Board. He declined also to state whether harmoay existed between the Women’s Mission Society and the Methodist Foreign Missions,or whether the opinions he had freviously held as to mission affairs in Japan had been changed or modified by his visit.

That officer rode toa hil] two miles from San Juan the day before the battle. He was overcome by beat aad has been lying ou his back the greater part of the time ever since. General Wheeler, who r-

‘fused to remain in bed with bis fever, is

here beside me asleep on a poncho with bullets passing over him.

There are Generals Summer, Kent, Lawton, and Chaffee, and Colonel Wood —never before have so many commanding officers lived so constant!y on the firing line, yet the man who is supposed todirect the entire expedition, is in a tent at the

rear.

If he ie ill he should be relieved ; the presence®of s.me man with absolute autber- itv is necessary af the front. I am quot- ing what brigade commarders demand. The commanding general’s orders are dis~ obeyed without a moment’s hesitation. I have heard them countermanded in my presence by colonels.

This is written with the sole purpose that the entire press of the country will force instant action at Washington to re- lieve the straincd situation.,

Here is what is needed :—

First—Artillery, but as that cannot sr- rive soon the navy must be urged until it acts, General Pando, with #ix thousand men is at Santiage.

Admiral Sampson could do much by landing stores; guns and quick firing guns and blue jackets and coming to the relief of the men along the hills. He can bom- bard the city or lose a few torpedo boats and force his way into the harbor.

He asked that the army should come here. Well, it is here, holding its own on the hills which it captured with sucb loss,

The army needs artillery. It needs some ove in command who is well, strong and able to stand the hardships of a cam- paign. It needs reinforcements, and it verds mules for traosportation, and it needs all these now.
