LAND SURVEYS. [From tho 'Herald's Own Correspondent.] KIHIKIHI, Saturday. When m the Maori country today, I noticed the natives were leaving their villages, and upon asking a Chief the meaning of it ho said there was a large meeting of natives at Otaro, on account of a private survey of the ManukaTutahi block, the surveyors being assisted by the Ngatihaua tribe. He expressed his opinion that the Government should put a stop to this kind of work, as it might create a disturbance. There are about four hundred natives at this meeting. Another block, called Mongakariti, on which Government have advanced money, is being slyly surveyed by a party of surveyors.
[press agency.] ALEXANDRA, Saturday. Kopua is almost a deserted settlement, the natives being away at Cambridge and Kawhia. They appear to think the Taranaki difficulty will cause no trouble here, Tawhiao having declared there shall be no fighting. Rewi has sent word that if his meeting with the Governor turns out satisfactory, he will invite him to come up to Kopua.
