HAWERA.
Thursday. Great joy is, expressed here at the result of Mr Mackay's interview with Te Whiti. It is considered that the whole matter may be settled by granting liberal reserves to the natives and small cash advances, as promised by Sir D. McLean. The reserves must be definitely fixed prior to any further steps being taken in surveying. It was considered at the time that surveying a road between Titokowaru's and Eloihiri's whares was most injudicious, especially after Titokowaru had protested against it, and now Te Whiti lays considerable stress upon it. It would appear that the Hiroki trouble has a little to do with the plains questions. By firm and judicious action the matter may yet be peaceably settled. The circumstance of the reinforcements being sent to Waihi and Opunake, already has had a good effect in showing the Maoris that Government do not intend to play with them.
