LATEST TELEGRAMS.
[From the Evening Post's Correspondent.] AUCKLAND. The Auckland Herald's Waikato telegrams state that four Hauhaus, laden with arras and ammunition, purchased a Auckland, had been arrested at Ngaruawahia, en route for Tokangamutu. A clue has been obtained to the parties who supplied them. Te Kooti seems to have quarrelled with Tawhiao, and has left Waikato, but with the intention of returning with augmented forces. The lastest news is that Kooti had gone to Taupo. The Waikato settlers are somewhat reassured. Rich gold struck at Coromandel; a rush has set in. Another rich leader struck in the Long Drive. Eire in Baker-street; Mr. James Cameron, overseer Auckland Herald , burnt to death. With .reference to Te Kooti we received the following telegram yesterday from our correspondent at Alexandra : “ Hamilton, July 27th, 9 a.m. “Te Kooti left Te Kuiti on Sunday. He will recruit at Kareo, Mangawanga, and Mokau, in order to endeavor to raise a force of 600 men. If successful he will return, depose the King, enforce his religion, and attack . Waikato. When Te Kooti left, the King’s forces fired a derisive volley. Te Kooti burned the King’s house. Rewi accompanied him. One hundred Ngatimaniapotos followed yesterday to bring Rewi beck. Rewi is supposed to be mad.” It has been suggested to us that Rewi has merely accompanied Te Kooti in order to see him safe out of the Waikato, but we confess we attach little importance to such a view of the matter. It would seem from Rewi’s conduct throughout that he is desirous of stirring up strife between Te Kooti and the Waikato King party. THE URIWERA DESEKT TE KOOTI. Auckland. 271 b July. Telegrams received from the Waikatos yesterday state that Te Kooti was sti'l at Te Kuiti, where he expected to receive some special direction (mm his Hauhau atua as to his line of conduct. The Ureweras who had accompanied Te Kooti to Tokangamutu had gone over to Tawhiao, and the Waikato were pressing for the immediate departure of Te Kooti, and those whose still adhered to him Jaupapa Waihou is still said to beTe Kooti's destination. —Southern Cross.
