MORE NATIVE TROUBLES.

[By Telegraph.] New Plymouth, Aug, 31. The “ Herald’s” llahotu correspondent has just telegraped that the Maoris are about to fence near Parapapara. The llahotu and Pungarelm are under orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate action. Mounted patrols have been out daily for the last fortnight. Yesterday about sixty Maoris made an attempt to stop an Armed Constabulary fatigue party from taking firewood, but, after a long korcro, retired growling. Sept. 1. Information from R-ahotu just received, is as follows. Yesterday about 400 Maoris, in batches of fifties, resumed the fencing at Waitahi, The Constabulary from Pungarohu marched up under arms and pulled the fence down. The Maoris hissed and hooted, and then dispersed. No prisoners were taken. The Maoris have pulled up a large number of pegs on the block offered for sale, and stuck them in promiscuously in different cut lines, or demolished them altogether. September 2.

About 400 natives are fencing all over the land at Pungarehu. An armed party has just marched out to the Waitotoroa. Reinforcements are coming to-day from Opunake.
