THE PREMIER INDIGNANT.
A RESENTFUL TELEGRAM. (rSKSS ASSOCIATION TELIOJU-t) WELLINGTON, February 2G. Mr Seddon has sent the following telegram to Colonel Porter Gisborne:—" A paragraph appears in the evening papers, sent by the Press Association from Gisborne, under the heading, 'Interview with Colonel Porter,' and given to a ' Herald' representative at Gisborne. It purports to be a statement made by you respecting an incident connected with the recent action. Captain Seddon and myself are much annoyed, and regret exceedingly that you should, without consulting us or allowing us to know your intentions, without warning of any kind, have acted so unwisely. I trust you will inform the Press representative that Captain Seddon and myself resent your action. The matter has been settled as between the parties,, and there it should have been allowed to rest. It is another case of 'save mc from my friends,' and seeing you are a Government officer your action, is all the more reprehensible. I trust you will let tho Sublio know definitely that your iniscreet action is resented by myself and Captain. Seddon, and that -we wero not, either directly or. indirectly, privy to' your intention."
