NATIVE INTELIGENCE.
(From the Hawke's'Bay Hjerald, April 29.) In our last issue we gave some Taupo intelligence, which showed that our forces were harassing the enemy in the confines of the Uriwera country; We now learn that advices have reached the Government agent that ten men of Hapurona's hapu of the Uriwera tribes have come out of the bush and surrendered themselves to Capt. Mair, and that they state that Hapurona, whose Maori name is Kohi, and the rest of the tribe, some forty in number, are also desirous of giving themselves up. We believe that instructions have gone to Taupo to accept the surrender, and we shall probably hear further particulars soon. This brauch of the Uriwera tribe has lately been hiding in the neighborhood of Ahikereru. Te Kooti is reported by these prisoners to be still hiding in the Wai-o-eka gorge, with a few followers, and destitute of food, except fern-root, and what he can pick up. It seems that houey is much depended on by those refugees ia the country they are now in.
