[BY TfiLKCSUAt'H.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
Hamilton, this day. Mn N. J. Butler arrived at Kawhia in tbo Hinemoa yesterday, and interviewed the natives who had destroyed the beacons.
Tehirnhi said as the emissary of Tawhiao iie was justified in doing as ho had done. Mr Butler told the natives that they had committed a serious ofVcnco, and warned them tbat if tho bcaoons were not ro - erected the Government would take steps to prevent any re-occur-rence of the trouble. Mr Butler left by the steamer the same evening. The buoys were not destroyed.
The other natives assembled said nothing to Mr Butlor, and it is uncertain what turn matters will now take.
Tehiralii said he would not re-erect the beacons.
