Terms Offered to Titoko Wabu. — We have been informed tbat the Civil Commissioner has at last been authorised by the Government to offer terms to Titoko Waru. We cannot state definitely tbe exact nature of the instructions. One condition is that his people are to give up their arms, and forfeit their land, but they will be allowed a block to settle on. These conditions Tito ought to be glad to accept; they are lenient, but we know of no middle course between this and commencing a disastrous war. Peace is intelligible and so is fighting, but a semi - state of existence — neither peace or war— is as unintelligible as it is unsatisfactory to the settler. When the terms were made known to Tito he did sot reply, but wished to have a meeting of Maoris and Europeans to talk matters over. To this the Civil Commissioner would not assent, stating that it was for the Government to decide matters of this nature, and not meetings of natives and Europeans. From another source we hear that Tito observed, subsequently, that he would give up old and young men, but not his guns. — Taranaki Herald.
