NATIVE AFFAIRS
DISTURBANCES RENEWED
[By Telegraph.] Auckland, Nov. 23. A number of Natives, headed by Te Whiti Patoa, came down to-day and turned Mr Tole’s men off his land. They were sent quietly and without injury into Kihikihi. Rewi was absent at Te Kuiti, and the Natives have done this in defiance of him. It is not likely that any disturbance will take place. Wellington, Nov. 23. Mr Bryce telegraphs to-day that the survey pegs on the Parihaka block were again pulled up last night, and on this occasion it is evident that the mischief was not a mere act of wanton recklessness, but was part of a deliberate plan for obstructing the survey of the block. Mr Bryce adds that prompt measures arc being taken to discover tin; perpetrators of the mischief, and it is probable that they will be brought within the roach of the law. Careful precautions are also being - taken to guard against a third offence of the kind. No obstruction is being attempted to the erection of the Cape Egmont lighthouse, which the natives seem to have accepted submissively as inevitable. It is understood that the new Boyal Commission to Sir W. Fox will be gazetted on the return of the Premier to Wellington.—“ Press ” correspondent.
