AFFAIRS AT PARIHAKA.
STRANGELY CONFLICTING REPORTS. (PEB UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. Friday. The Hon. Mr Ballance arrived here last night, and -was met by Colonel Roberts, Mr Pardy (Inspector of Police at New Plymouth), and Mr Rennell (Native Agent), who informed him that the reports which had- recently been circulated with reference to the Maoris on this coast were entirely without foundation, and were originated principally by persons who have settled on small seci tions of land near Pungarehu, and who made a living out of the Armed Constabulary while they were camped there, and whose living was gone when the force was removed. Mr Ballance went to Oeo this morning to interview Titokowaru' and Te Whiti's people, who are assembled there for the purpose of distributing the food sent to them by the natives of the Chatham Islands, as a prerent to Te Whiti. There were about two hundred present, and he met with a most cordial reception, a dance and haka being given m his honour. The feeling of the natives is said to be more friendly towards the Europeans than ever.
