UNREST AT NIUE.
POLICE SERGEANT MURDERED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The Tutanekai, which has arrived from Niue, reports that a native police sergeant was murdered just prior to the vessel’s arrival there. He was tomahawked by another native, and two suspects are on trial. Owing to fears of a native rising the Tutanekai wirelessed Samoa, and H.M.S. Veronica, intercepting the message, went Niue-wards, and was there when the Tutanekai left. The European residents were practically without stores when the Tutanekai arrived with a hundred tons.
