ACTION OF THE NATIVE MINISTER. WILL TE KOOTI TURN BACK ?
The Hon. E. Mitchelson, Minister for Native Affairs, in order to prevent any occassion of disturbance in Poverty Bay district, is not only receiving hourly advices of the movements of Te Kooti, but has opened direct communication with the ex-rebel chief, warning him against carrying out his intention of visiting the scene of the horrible massacre of twenty years ago. Yesterday the Minister despatched a telegram to Te Kooti, to be delivered by iMr Bu&lu R.M., ab Tauranga. This message strongly urged Te Kooti to abandon his projected visit and return at once to his home in the Waikato. Mr Bush sent a telegraphic reply to the Minister last night informing him of the delivery of his message and Te Kooti's reply to it. Mr Bush states that he proceeded toPoroporo, about four miles from Whakatane, where Te Kooti was encamped, and delivered and translated the telegraphic despatch from Mr Mitchelson.
