NEWPLYMOUTH.
' This day. The Taranaki Herald says, with reference to Maori sc^re reported in yeßterday'B issue, "We are informed that two. men who came into New Plymouth from Hawera last night say that when at the Patea river,they saw the natives, who were armed with guns aid tomahawks, that were reported to have stopped Stewart and the boy. Upon entering into conversation with tbe Natives the white men learned that they were in search of Hitoki. The Natives then tied up their horses and proceeded up the river. The two white men subsequently saw Stewart, and from what they learned it appears that, the whole affair was a 'misunderstanding arising from Stewart's ignorance of the Maori language, he having, taken afriendly warning to beware of Hiroki to be words of hostility. • • .
