THE NATIVE DIFFICULTY.
The New Plymouth Mounted Rifles, the last of the Volunteers to leave the field, were discharged yesterday. The Constabulary at Paiihaka are making use of the material (raupo) from the destroyed whares in the construction of their camp. 450 A.C.’e will be stationed at the Parihaka camp. The men who have been engaged in pulling down 'the whares, have been dubbed the whare-ers (warriors.) Stray horses have made sad havoc with the Maoris’ potato crop, the gaps in the fences not having been watched during the last day or two. The Natives resumed their guard at the fences yesterday. On Tuesday two Natives belonging to the Hawera district were found in tears, and on being asked the reason of their grief they remarked that they wished to go their to homes, but did not care to proceed there unless taken as th© others have been.
Mr Bryce leaves the front to-day, to meet Sir W. Fox at Oeo.
The weather has been very wet on the West Coast during the past few days.
