♦ (from our own correspondent.) Wellington, Nov. 3. The Maori prisoners, 74 in number, leave for Otago as soon as the weather permits, per s.s. Rangatira. Their sentences have been commuted to various terms of three and seven years' imprisonment. The chief Tauroa is in the latter category. This includes all the Pakikahi hapu, except old men, who were discharged, and two boys, who wex*e placed on board H.M. S.S. Blanche. A portion of the Ngatiporon garrison at Waihi, while out scouting, came xipon a party of Tito Kowaru's men at Ngapohi. Three men and two women were captured, and two men, while trying to escape, were shot. They are well-known rebels, and were armed with double-barrelled guns. One of the old women taken tells a circumstantial story of Te Kooti being at Upper Waitara, near to Tito Kowaru, badly wounded, but slowly recovering.
