NORTHERN TELEGRAMS.
(From the "Daily Times.") Wellington, August loth. It is rumoured here that Mr. Macandrew is trying to get the portion of Westland to the south of the Teremakau River, annexed to Otago. Napier, August 15th. Captain Porter reports that Te Kooti passed the Waikoha on the Ist, about 20 miles from Poverty Bay. Te Kooti's tracks and fires we're found, but it is not known whether he has gone back to the Waioeka Gorge or to Ruatahuna. Nothing has been heard regarding Ropata since he left Tologa Bay, but he is most likely on Te Kooti's track, as he said, " I will pursue Te Kooti till I capture him." An eye witness describes Ropata's rage as " awful " at Te Kooti's presumption in attacking the Ngatiporou settlement. Ropata means mischief.
