LAST NIGHT'S NEWS. [By Electric Telegraph.] [ UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
NEWPLYMOUTH, Yesterday. The Herald says: — "Notwithstanding the tensational telegrams forwarded by correspondents to newspapers in other parts of the colony, native affairs were never more favourable than at the present time. We have it on the authority of those who are thoroughly acquainted with the natives, that there is no sign of warlike action on the part of the Maoris at Parihaka or on the Plains. They have never shown a more friendly feeling towards Europeans than exhibited at the present time The natives at Parihaka are all engaged preparing ground for planting potatoes, of which there will be a larger atea put down than during any previous seabon. The natives at Enutio are very friendly, and take no money for the produce with which they rupply the camp, insisting on making a present. When the road party oross the boundary and enter on Parihaka territory, we learn that Te Whiti will act similarly, and that the roads will be allowed to be made without any aggressive action on the part of the natives. 1 '
