BACK FROM THE WAR.
ARRIVAL OF RAR&NGA AND TAINUI. By Telegraph—Press Association, Wellimrton, April 29. The Raranga, with 1075 troops, anchored in the stream this morning and reported "all well." She was passed as a clean ship, and the troops disembarked in the afternoon. The steamer came via Panama, and had a good voyage, which was marred by losing one of the ship's complement at sea—2/1245 Pvte. D. McDougall.
