More Mysterious Nonsonso. , i Mr Sheehaa rec^ired * telegram from: Major Brown at Hawera to the follow* ing: •> effect:—•iKaterie usays; there is . .a; messenger from Te Whiti expected at Waiwenui to give final 'instructions to Titokowaru, who, he says; has been able to hold his own against Waikato and Taupo and the Pakeha,rand he is to take charge of the ploughing. He wishes Te Iki and Titokowaru to be taken prisoners by t the Europeans, bat not those, who hate been imprisoned before, as they have lost caste. The latter are to go to Parihaka and place themselves under his protection. The ploughers are to go on ploughing. JRven :if the Europeans strike them with the sw<prd they are not to resist; nor even if tlijfcy are killed, for it will be . all right. ploughing js not merely the ploughing of land, but is the ploughing of the mana or authority of the Government, ap as to irritate them to go and seek hinV(Te Whiti) at Parihaka, and whea' he dies tblo' two races will be united as. one. |Te Iki is to take a ploughing party, and if that is stopped to take fresh party after parity, as they are taken prisoner;!, until ten parties have been taken ten times. /Satene says Titoltp|<raru will lead tbe last ploughing party.,',,- , ? ' Fanaticism of Te Iki. ; A Plougbing to >9 resumed. . At the meeting, where these instructions were given, Katene tried to advise them against the absurdity of action, and was told by Te Iki that his talk was unpalatable, that he wished to see Wellington and Otago, and even the gallows to be hung. He also said the natives had been near the country on the South side of the river \ to . select gronnd for ploughing operations, and Titokowaru has approved of Mr Barrow's and Mr Goodson's farms at Waihi, as firewood is handy for cooking purposes. Ploughing will probably be resumed to-morrow morning. Titokowaru is opposed to the natives south of Hawera doing any ploughing in their district, as they have lost caste, thereby siding with the Government, or by being taken prisoners. No arms are to be taken and no resistance on any account to be offered. . . Between 300 or 400 women and children have assembled to hold a tangi for the people going to plough, as if they were going to their death. Mokau te Wetere has written to the Government and Te Eeinga, giving a fall explanation of the letter* he has sent. He says he will explain the whole of his actions, and show he had no intention of removing Europeans. ' This day.
