The Native Obstraction.
TE WHITI DISCONTINUES THE
FENCING.
[By Telbgbaph.]
Pukehinau, This day. There are signs that Te Whiti is getting i :ed of sending his men to be arrested, iesterday no natives appeared to re erect t.-e fences at Penagarehu, and those who came to Te Parapara were mere boys, and only two ii number. Should no natives appear at the fences to-day it may be concluded that Te Whiti has tapered off with two boys and discontinued fencing. MOKE ARRESTS. Contrary to expectations, the fence | remained down all last night, .but this i morning two natives made their appearance at each fence, and were arrested whilst fencing. This time five stalwart men were sent by Te Whiti, and not boys as was the case yesterday. New Plymouth, This day;': Ten Maori prisoners were brought into town last night and put in gaol. They were arrested in three different parties, two on Tuesday, four on Wednesday, and four yesterday. They made no resistance.
The prisoners state that Te Whiti intends to send four men every day to erect the fencing. The prisoners brought into town are not all Taranaki natives, two being Waikato, and two being Wanganui Ngatiawas. The Taranaki road to>New Plymouth to the camp is now open for cart traffic. This is three miles past Pariuaka. After the first natives were arrested there was a meeting at Parihoka at which 400 natives were present. The natives all wanted to go in n body and continue the fencing, but Te Whiti prevented them.— Star. •
