The Maori Trouble.
The Government armed force arrived at Waima valley, 13 miles inland from Rawene, at 5.30 on Thursday evening the journey having occupied nearly eight hours. The march out from Rawene%as rather exciting, owing to two shots being fired by the Maori outpost as the force was in the middle of the bush, between Omanaia and Waima.
The spot where the shots were fired is known as Te Puku O Te Hau, after an ancestor who was buried there.
Mr Hone Heke arrived from Kawakawa at 8 p.m. The N.Z. Times reports that owing to the influence of Mr Hone Heke, M.H.R., the natives Makara, Romana, iione Toia and Hone Mete have surrendered themselves to the police.
