OPUNAKE.
Thursday. Te Whiti and Ms followers. The Parihaka meeting ended yesterday, and the natives are returning to their homes wearing broad flax leaves round their waists in imitation of belts, and have flax sticks hanging from them like swords; this is in ridicule of the troops. Te Whiti says that truth will appear this year, and nothing can prevent it coming out. He ptr«ist» there will be no fighting, and everything will be settled peaceably. He made bo allusions to the prisoners, and said he would settle such matters himself as spokesman of the Maori race. There was a small attendance of Maoris and Europeans, and there are no symptoms of a decline in the thorough belief of the natives in Te Whiti.
