LASTEST FROM POVERTY BAY.
"Wellington, This Day, 11.27 a.m. A. telegram received by the Independent last night reports that a hitch has occurred between. Mr McLean and Major Lambert [commander of the colonial force in the Wairoa district]. The St. Kilda arrived at Napier yesterday from "Waiaroa, and the Ahuriri from Poverty Bay. Mr McLean had ordered an advance to be made from both places, in order fco get the enemy between two fires. The Poverty Bay force is now out pursuing the enemy, who is reti eating, but Major Lambert, at "Wairoa, refused to recognise Mr McLean's authority, alleging that he has separate instructions. The plan is, therefore, rendered abortive. The Ahuciri has, in consequence, steamed for Wairoa, and ifc is supposed that the Native force will be called upon to act, without reference to Major Lambert ; otherwise, a disaster will impend.
