THE EAST COAST.
LATEST FROM THE FRONT.
[jEGM i CORRESPONDENT.] Fort Galatea, Kaingaroa, May 4. I write from Fort Galatea, a post of some importance at Kaingaroa, a spot some 30 miles froniTaupo on the line of road. Horses cannot go beyond this post. To morrow at daylight we enter the Whakatane Bush under Major Roberts, and expect by the 7th to meet St. John's force, which is already there, at. Ruatahua. We pikau four days' supplies. We rather expect to have a brush with the rebels at Ahikereru on the 6th inst. This is a most difficult country, intersected with rivers and cross creeks, and awfully barren; and to get up supplies is a most difficult matter when everything has ro be humped. We have info rra ation that Te Kooti is now at Tikitiki, on the Waikari Lake, We expect to reach that neighbourhood by the 9th, and if it proves correct, we shall most likely be able to cut him off.
