NATIVE AFFAIRS.
WELLINGTON, February 12
The Government have received no news o any importance regarding Native affairs. The Royal Commission has been formally opened at Hawera. Another camp, in advance of the former one, has been selected for the Armed Constabulary on the Waimate Plains. The site of the new camp is on the banks of the Kanpokonui river, about, nine miles beyond the Waingongoro and fourteen miles from Hawera. The locality is described as a most suitable one for the object in view, being excellently adapted for campaign purposes. The Constabulary continue in good health, and are making capital progress with the road formation. There is a strong body of men now available to make a beginning from the Stonoy river end as soon as this shall be deemed advisable.
Private news from Parihaka points entirely to a peaceful result of Tito Kowaru’s visit to Te Whiti, it being reported that the latter has reiterated his orders that nobody shall interfere between the Government and himself, and that he has declared his perfect ability, whenever he shall think fit, to settle the whole question favorably to his views by supernatural powers.
