THE TAURANGA NATIVES.
The Tauranga correspondent of the journal quoted above writes that he can seen see no ren3on io modify the opinion he expressed in his last" letter as to the^ threatening aspect of the natives in the Bay, of Plenty. One of the causes of the agitation amongst the King Maoris in the' Upper Thames was an intimation that had been received that the surveyors would soon be sent to Katikati. This Tauranga letter gives us the fact that there has been some talk about the matter at Te Papa. The Katikati block is more exposed to the excursions of the hostile natives than the land in the Tauranga district, from which the surveyors were driven last year. Penetaka, who is as determined as ever, is resident with his people at Te "Whakamarama. It is said that the horse of the man Lewis, found dead lately on the beach between Tauranga and Maketu. bears the mark of a bullet wound, and this has given rise to the suspicion that Lewis has been murdered. The fact is not confirmed, however. The only place from which danger could come is Hakaraia's old place, Te Puke, or Canaan ; but we have not heard of its being re-occupied by the hostile natives.
