Latest from the Front.
(fhom oub spscial correspondent.)
PrjtfGAREHTJ. Yesterday, 4 p.m. I have just left Parihaka, but nothing further was done this afternoon. Messrs Bryceandßolleston have left for Opunake. I entered Parihaka, but the natives will not disperse; they say they know what Mr Bryce wants—for them to strike the first blow. Te Whiti tells them no matter what indignity is put upon them not to raise a hand, even if the shirt is taken off their backs. The Armstrong gun frightened some, and Tahaua left this morning. Tbe Taranaki natives are quite lively, tbe girls skipping, and the men laughing. Wi Parata is still there, and Kemp sent a letter to his tribe to leave Parihaka. They would not receive it. It was Constable Benjamin Cray, of Stoney River, who first recognised Te Whiti. Colonel Roberts is much pleased with the conduct of the officers and men of the Volunteers.
