SERIOUS TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
THE ARMED CONSTABULARY UNDER ORDERS TO MARCH
(BY TELEGRAPH.) . (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) ft T7okla.Nl>, March 25 . Mi* Hursthouse and his companions, when rescued by Te Kooti, were very weak, and their arms ami legs braised and swollen by the brutal way they had been fastened and locked up 48 hours without food. Mahuki, the chief obstructionist, says he will give no further trouble, and the unanimous cry of the natives assembled at Te Kuni is that, the land must be opened. A telegram from Mr Wilkinson, the native agent, to Mr Bryca, states that Mahuki is now m a state of the utmost dejection and fear, and promises to give up his gods> and give up prophesying if he is let go. Te Wetere is anxious that he should be sent to Alexandra to be punished by law. Te Kooti takeß little part m this discussion, and is quite content te let Wahanui and the" Ngatimaniapoto decide. The bullock chain and padlock with which he was fastened is given to Mr Hursthouse as a souvenir. The whole of the property taken from them has been recovered.
