TAUPO.
Friday.
Eewi is at Oranui at present making a round of visits amongst the Taupo natives. His object as far aa can be ascertained is to establish his old boundary or aukati against European intruders. This boundary line extends from Maungatawtari in Waikato to Horohoro near Eotorua, thence to Tatau thence to Mangatai on Lake Taupo, thence across the lake to Waihi the kainga of the great chief Te Heuheu. The local Natives of Taupo view Eewi's visit with some doubt and suspicion, but as the Government appear to place implicit confidence in his attitude, they defer at present expressing any decided opinion, and hope that good may result. Eewi is shortly to hold a meeting of all the Taupo Natives at Poukana, the head centre of Taupo Hauhauism, when his proposals will assume some definite shape.
