LATEST FROM THE FRONT.
[Specially Telegraphed to Star.]
(from our own correspondent.)
Armed Constabulaby Camp,
Pungabehu, Saturday morning.
Fifty-nine ble-bodied men, who came down to do the fencing, were taken prisoners this morning, amongst them being Nuku, Titokowaru's brother. In nay telegram to you yesterday, I stated "that the West Coast Settlement Bill, printed in Maori, was distributed at Parihaka yesterday. Those arrested are, therefore, liable to a sentence of imprisonment, not exceeding two years, with or without hard labor, as the Court may deem fit.
I am informed that there were very animated discussions at Parihaka when the West Coast Settlement Bill was read to the natives. But it does not appear to have altered Te Wbiti's determination, for the fencers came down as usual this morning. I suppose we shall only see the end of it when Te Whiti and Tohu go to gaol, as they promised at the last meeting. [The above was published as an Ext a on Saturday.]
