Waikato they would have to submit and give up the murderers. He is a very shrewd clever old fellow. Today I received a Telegram from Marino just returned from Tuhua where he saw Rewi - he says that Rewi stated he was in favor of giving up the murderers - But also that he went to Tuhua to prevent the Ngatitawharetou living there, from coming to Tokano and joining Hore Tauteka as they intend - I believe Rewi has failed in persuading them to keep at Tuhua and went back angry - It must be very galling to him and Tamati to see their staunchest allies leaving them - The present unsettled state of Waikato keeps all Taupo and the district beyond in a state of ferment - and gives me no end of work - but by keeping up my communication with those Natives I get very early and correct information of what is going on - the people living at Niho o te Kiore and working on the roads are in daily communication with Waotu and get the Te Kuiti news from there - I have been able several times lately to deny positively lying Telegrams sent via Tauranga - shameful lies are sent to the Southern papers daily - I keep Gisborne and Bell informed.
