NEW PLYMOUTH.
„ Te Whiti's Enigma.
This day.
With reference to the words uttered by Te Whiti.to the Governor's aide-de-camp that " the potatoe*is cooked," the Maoris say that Te Whiti has previously expressed his meaning to be, " The land is takeu, the land is sold, and is now being settled upou, and what now is the use of discussing about it?'' The* Parihaka natives are now beginning to feel tho effects of their indolent and improvident habits. A gentleman who came through Parihaka a few days ago states- that food is very scarce at the settlement, and the natives are digging up^ialf ripe potatoes ia order to supply tnW daily wants. Many natives have beea driven from Parihaka back to their own settlement owing to the insufficiency of food.
