NATIVE INTELLIGENCE.
[By Telegraph.] [PBOM OUR OWN OOBEE3PONDENT.] > WELLINGTON, June 24. The Government received a satisfactory telegram this afternoon from 1 Mr Bryce, who had just interviewed Ruakere, one of the principal chiefs of Te Whiti’s tribe, indeed Te Whiti’s superior in standing apart from the other’s prophetic dignity. Ruakere assured Mr Bryce most earnestly that the Maoris who had fenced across the road were not acting under Te Whiti’a instructions, but merely on their own notion, in order to guard their cultivations from the supposed danger of trespassing horses and cattle. Ruakere has gone to Parihaka to speak to Te Whiti about the matter. Meanwhile there has been no renewal of the fencing, and Ruakere expressed an opinion that there would not bo any further obstruction, now that the Natives saw that the Government were in earnest, and did not wish to trespass on their cultivations. The work of shifting the camp was finally completed to-day, and Mr Hnrathouse cut the road line through from one camp to the other, the distance being loss than two miles. If fine weather continues the road will be formed right through in another fortnight or so.
