NAPIER. EXPECTED SURRENDER OF NATIVES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Napier, June 14.
Tins morning news arrived from "Waikare^ moana Lake. The Hauhaus have retired to the extreme corner arm of the lake. They are 100 strong, principally Ureweras. All their women have been sent away. Te Waru and party have bolted to Mangapowhata. Communication has been opened and proposals have been made to them to surrender, and the only thing that prevents them doing so is the dread of being killed by Wairoa natives. Mr. Hamlin had given them until Monday last (13th instant) to surrender ; if they did not he was to attack them. All the Lake district and its settlements are in our hands. At the time the last messenger left Waikaremoana Lake, a boat was seen approaching, and it was expected that it was with the intention of offering terms of surrender.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Yesterday (Tuesday), a man named Stark, belonging to the Constabulary Force, deliberately placed a revolver to his breast and fired, the ball passing close to the heart. He is still living, and from what I can understand, is likely to recover. Of course he ■will be punished if he should recover.
