WELLINGTON.
[From our own Correspondent.] (By Telegraph.)... .- *-, Thursday" night. Mr Bryce returned to Wellington by coacb last night. As a good deal of capital is beiag sought to be made out of Jtber destruction of native crops at afid near Parihaka by Mr Bryce's orders, it may be well to give the explanation whioh I bave received on very good authority. The fact simply is that the crops destroyed at Paribaka are merely those planted by the strangers who had no right there and assembled tbere in defiance of the Government.:' Those destroyed at Pungarehu and Parapara had been planted io spite of repeated official prohibitions on land outside the native reserves, and not beloaging to the Parihaka Maoris at all.
