GISBORNE.
Thursday. .Under the heading "Native troubles at Waiapu," the evening Herald to-night says a messenger arrived in town last night*from Hick's Bay,, bringing intelligence that the situation is still unchanged. The two bapus are entrenched m their respective pahs, and fire at each other whenever an opportunity occurs., There has been a lot of firing, but up to the time of the messenger leaving no casualties were reported. In one instance a chief fired at a Maori point blank, but the shots, or more correctly speaking, the discharge, did not take effect, the assumption being that a number of the^ rifle* are loaded with blank cartridge. The Native Minister is using his influence to pacify the combatants. The dispute is .over a small piece of land.
