NEW PLYMOUTH
This day
The natives do not appear to bo acting under any definite instructions from Te Whiti in tbe matter of greeting fences, and consequently they bare made no determined stand against the Constabulary. They will probably desist from offering further obstruction to the Constabulary until the Parahaka meeting, which commences to-day, is over. It has been noticed that the natives have not proceeded to Parihaka this month in their customary fashion, viz., with bullock drays well loaded with provisions, but the majority of them have travelled on foot. This shows that the . Maoris are getting hard up, and cannot make their customary presents.
The steamer Tui is still on the bank at the mouth of the Waitara River. It has been decided to repair her before another attempt is made to launch her.
