You speak of telegraphing any important matter: but what on earth could be of greater importance to us here than to know whether the telegram published in the Times was true (yesterday) that Te Kooti was surrounded by King Chiefs and suing in a desperate condition for peace? Lord Carnarvon and many of our friends
