HAWERA.
Yesterday. It is stated that one of the conditions in Mr Bryce's letter to Te Whiti was that the natives should show their submission by themselves pulling down the fences they had erected. The Alexandra Cavalry hare made a further search for arms on the Plains, Major Atkinson accompanying them. Iv Taikatu and Omururangi pahs, about 20 stand of arms were found, including several Terry carbines, one double-bar* relied flint gun, and several Enfield rifles. The Taikatu pah is one of the most defensive pahs on the Plains. Only a few old women were found in each pah, and they were loud in tbeir protestations that there were no guns. Fresh tracks of horsemen were seen. In all 84 stand of arms and 55Ibs of powder hare been seized on the plains, as also a quantity of percussion caps. The arms and ammunition were generally concealed in boxes. Major Atkinson was the first to enter Taikatu, which used to be a stronghold, into which Titokowaru waa wont to retire when hard pressed by Europeans.
