NEW PLYMOUTH.
November 18
Abont twenty-five of the Taranaki Rifles, in charge of Captain Davidson, came in last night, and left again at 7
o'clock this morning for the Waitara and northern Maori settlement. Their visit is for the purpose of searching every native settlement between the town and White Oliffs for fire arms, and all they -find will be impounded, so the natives throughout the district will be thoroughly disarmed. The Ngatiwe natives who left Pungarehu yesterday were got as far a3 Timaru (which is about four miles south of Oakura) last night. It was slow work getting the men to move. The women went first, and the men followed. They are expected in town about two o'clock. It is proposed to have an address of thanks to the volunteers drawn up and handsomely lithographed, and each member who assisted in the demonstration will be presented with a copy.
