SAVAGE MAORI MELEE.
GUIDE MAGGIE'S HOME-COMING. (Uj Telegraph-Press AESOclallon.) Auckland, January 13. The Auckland "Star's" correspondent 'at Eotorua states that there was no party of Natives to welcome the Maori troupe of entertainers when the express arrived last evening. The returning Natives proceeded to Whaka by special 'bus, and there a hostile demonstration, which proceeded from heated words to blows, followed their arrival. In trying to protect Maggie Papaknra from' a blow, one-of the -party had mi arm broken in throe places, while the old chief, MotaTaupopoki, had his head cut open with a stick. A general inetee followed, but no further serious casualties are reported. . A feeling of hostility among the Natives at Kotorua against the leaders who were responsible for the band journeying to England has been steadily growing, and it culminated Inst evening in tho fracas, which was a distinctly unpleasant form of reception after a years absence.
