Regarding tho Territorial disturbance - at Dannevirko on Tuesday, Colonel Tate, officer in chargo at Oringi cump, explained that, boloru any press report had been seen by him, a telegram was received from the "Wairarapa Daily Times," asking whether certain sensational reports current in Masterton were true. These reports, ho adds, were exaggerated, and a telegraphic reply was sunt to the paper's inquiry as wired out from Masterton. This reply was based on. reports trom the •brigade pickets. * Colonel Tate- further says that the Press , Association telegram of April l(i was quite reasonable and lair, and no utlempl is made to discount it or anything that was believed to be true.
