THE WEST COAST.
The West Coast may now be considered safe. The Ngatiporou are roving about the bush seeking for stragglers, with precise orders to shoot all they see, The Waitotaras have been hunted to PipiriU, and are treating for peace. One can now ride unarmed from Patea to Taranaki and Wauganui —in fact many ha\e done so. The Ngatioianiapoto never advanced to Mokau, and no advance against them from that point was possible, as it could not be carried out to any length, so rugged and wooded is the district. In any case such a movement would drive the rebels back upon the seeming friendlies, who would certainly join, and the Hauhaus would get stronger every day, and draw their supplies without difficulty from their own cultivations. JCooti would then probably join them, and Titokovvaru reappear from the source of the Waitara, where he now is, near the base of Tongariro. Colonel Whitmore has left a force to take part at White Cliffs, which will be sufficient to prevent any advance of Ngatimaniopoto upon Taranaki, and has moved all his disposable force to the Bay of Plenty.
