(PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION’). NELSON, This Day. Ou Saturday last a struggle took place between Te Whiti, Tohu, and Mr Ward, who is in charge of these Natives, but nothing transpired till yesterday. It appears that the Natives belonging to the pah at Wakapuaka, where Te whiti has been allowed to visit and who have frequently visited the prophet, became very offensive on his last visit, and consequently he was told he would not be admitted again. Since then Wi Parata has arrived at the pah, and on Saturday Te Whiti and Tohu informed Mr Ward they intended visiting the pah, and, on his objecting, became declared they would go, Ultimately they left their residence, and on stepping into the public road were ordered back by Mr Ward, and, not complying, the latter obstructed their passage, and in the struggle Tohu was thrown. Te Whiti advised returning, and they did so, but in the meantime Mr Ward had despatched a messenger to Inspector Atcheson, who speedily told Te Whiti Mr Ward must be obeyed. Te Whiti expressed his surprise at this exhibition of authority. He seemed somewhat sulky, and complained that his wife was kept away by Mr Bryce’s soldiers. Yesterday afternoon the Natives seemed more reconciled. It is rumored that on Saturday Wi Parata had a trap ready for Te Whiti and Tohu, to take them to a Native pah, which is distant 12 miles from their residence.
