ONE PARTY DISARMED.
Napier, June 17. Tatjbangi Karauria died on Sunday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon Mr Preece, R.M., visited Omahu and induced the Maoris to give up their arms. Broughton'e natives were under the impression that Donnellys people had consented to be disarmed and gave up all i their arms, which were brought into
town. The ** Telegraph "is informed that the Donnelly natives did not disarm and were firing a salute at night. The "Telegraph" says : "The disarmament should not be confined to the stripping of the weaker side of the means of defence but be extended to all the natives throughout the province. Although things are quiet at Omahu, we may be sure intense excitement prevails in all the pahs where each section of the disputants has its adherents. Whether these people be amenable to reason and will remain in our districts, we cannot say, but the Maori custom is to assemble at the residence of the deceased and hold a tangi. If this is followed on this unfortunate occasion it is hard to predict the result."
