The arresting party entered the pah again this morning, and drafted out the men, women and children belonging to'the Ngatiawa tribe. .No difficulty was experienced in identifying them, as Captain Messenger, Mr Hursthouse and several members of the Mounted Rifles knew the tribe. About 220 men, and 80 women and children had been taken up to noon. The men were sent to whares, but the women are squatting in front of the village. They will, if possible, be sent to their hapu to morrow. An effort was made this afternoon to get possession of their goods, but it was unsuccessful; the prisoners will be sent on without them.
The Alexander Cavalry, numbering 57 arrived from Opunake this morning, and are expected to return tonight.
Everything is quiet at Parihaka.
The telegraph line will be run up to. Parihaka as soon as possible.
