DEFIANT MAORI RESERVISTS.
[ SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Sept. 22. Six Maoris of tho Waikato tribe, who were called up by ballot, and who have refused to wear tho uniform or obey the military authority, wore sentenced by eourt-martial to two years' hard labor. About thirty others aro still in detention for a similar offence. The sentences were promulgated on Saturday at a parade of 400 natives in the camp at Narow Neck.
