AFFRAY IN AUCKLAND
POLICE MD MAORI SOLDIERS. By. Telegraph—Press 'Association—Copyright Auckland, April 24. 'A collision between the police and about 40 Maori soldiers occurred at the Police Station to-night. The trouble arose over the arrest of two Maori soldiers who iu the afternoon were taken in charge for using obscene language. A number of Maoris on leave from Narrow Neck Camp made their way to the Police Station, where only two officers were on duty. /SubInspector M'llveney saw them from his house, and reached the station first, where ho advised tho Maoris to do nothing foolish; meanwhile, .other constables were summoned. At the conclusion of the sub-inspec-tor's remarks one of the ringleaders cried: "Is it going to be nothing or the gaol? I say the gaol." The answer was a general forward movement by the soldiers. Promptly the polico closed with them, some using their fists and others their batons. The Maoris fell like ninepins, and soon retreated. One was arrested on a charge of assaulting- the sub-inspector, and three others wore also apprehended.
