HAWERA, September 27.
A crowded public meeting has been held at Mania and Hawera to enrol volunteers in case
of a disturbance. Sixty-eight were enrolled in Hawersae infantry, and twenty mounted rifles, and thirty-eight foot rifles were enrolled at Manaia last night. Major Stapp was present, and the meeting showed great confidence in him as an officer commanding the district. A number of other volunteers had expressed their intention of joining who were not present at the meeting at Manaia. It is expected that at least fifty mounted and probably 100 infantry will join on the Plains, and numbers are waiting to see whether To Whiti really means fighting. The setters are too busy to spare time for soldiering except at serious inconvenience and loss. A few settlers have removed their wives and families into the townships of Manaia and elsewhere.
