PuxGAitEiiu, ember 14. The constabulary are in the pahs at Parihaka taking the Wanganui men. Major Tuke rode to Pungaiehu at 10 tin* morning, and ordered the Mounted Rifles to surround the natives on guard at tin: funuo, and the natives

were then taken into a wh-ire and pldc >d under guard. The Rifles moved on to wh-.ires a short di.st.mce from Pungarehu and placed the natives assembled there under guard. The natives will I.e. remanded until seaich has been made to ascertain if any Wanganuis are among them. There is only one Wanganui man. amongst those taken at the fence. The Constabulary have returned with 46 wen, women, and children, who were collected from pahs in the neighborhood of Parapara. These, along with 13 taken from the fence, have started for Parihaka with an escort of cavalry. There are several Wanganui natives ammg them \vli.> will be arrested, and the others released. November 15. The number of women assembled at the cemetery was 85, and between 200 and 300 children. The chief TJtiku has been idem itied amongst tho.se taken. Mr Bryce says that nearly the whole of.the VVanganui women have been taken, and he is making arrangements fni* these, as well as others, to be sent to Watigamii. Drays are now at. the spot where the whares were destroyed yesterday, loading up with goods, &c, which were removed. The natives refuse to go over to identify their goods. Air Bryce fears that he will have to destroy a large portion of the natives' crops, principally potatoes, as there is sufficient for three times as many natives as belong to Parihaka. By this he j hopes to prevent alien tribes from assembling at Parihaka. It is expected Mr Bryce will go to Opunake this evening to make arrangements tor the embarkation ot the Wangauui prisoners. On arrival at Putiki wharf, Wanganui, the natives will be dispersed from there. Arrests will continue until all the alien tribes have been dispersed.
