INSULT AVENGED
Katana’s Secretary Slaps Passengers’ Faces
AMERICAN AND NEW ZEALANDER
[Per Press Association.]
AUCKLAND, Last Night. Ratana's party returned by the Niagara to-day.
In referring to the cabled incident on the voyage from Japan, MOko said the trouble arose from the disagreeable conduct of an American pa s senger on the Japanese steamer, and a New Zealander also behaving- in a surprising manner towards the party. "I had to slap the face of the American and th e New Zealander, too,” said Peter. “ and as a matter of fact, what else could I have done?. They insulted our girls and our whole party. I simply went up to the American and asked him if it was true that ho had said so. When he admitted it t rue, 1 slapped his face.”
