After pitching the tents, they made up to the A.C. camp, where Titokowaru made a speech, saying they were going to stop there for the night. The natives paraded about the place, and then went b«ck to their camp. About sundown, a party of about 20 came hack and pitched a tent on the bill about fifteen or twenty yards from the block house. It waa quickly pulled down by the civil police, and the nativea were told that none of them would be allowed to camp there. The natives offered no resistance or violence, but immediat jly returned to their camp. The party who pitched the tents, the Herald’s correspondent states, are some of the Mabauki lot (NgatiBianiopoto), who are regular Te Whitis. » Several of them walked into the schoolroom at the A.O. camp, but were ordered put. The natives are on iheir way back Parihaka. They were at Waitara last ,ght, and will probably be through this wn to-day.
