TAURANGA.
Wednesday. The Bay of Plenty Times' reporter at Taupo wires that a gross insult has been offered to the representative of the Government by Rewi Ntratimaniapoto. Itewi sent a message to Major Scannel yesterday expressing a desire to see him, but as the major's horse was not at home he was unable to go. To day he went to Onenui, where Kewi is, accompanied by Mr Walker and an interpreter. After, mutual greetings, Rewi coolly rolled himself up in his blanket and composed himself to sleep. Half an-hour's silence ensued, when Major Scannel said to him, " You sent for roe; what have you to say ?" Rewi answered that he did not send for him, and had nothing to say. Major Scannel then said, " If you have nothing to say to me I will go," and left the whare without taking formal leave.
