OPUNAKE.
This day
A very small attendance at the Parihaka* meeting this month. This fact and Te Whiti's words show that no importance is attached by the natives to the removal of the Maori prisoners to Hokitika and Dunedin.
Te Whiti and Tohu both express themselves satisfied there wilt be no fighting.
Te Whiti says that he told them in September there would be a company of people sent to Parihaka before the prisoners returned.
Several Europeans, including two ladies from Opunake, were present at the meeting. They were interviewed in the evening by Tobu, a Maori acting as interpreter. Unless the Royal Pensioners or Constabulary go up there is nothing more likely to take place at Parihaka till after March.
