THE WAIMATE PLAINS. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] [OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
New Plymouth, Last Night. The Native Minister is at Pungaretu. On Monday 11 natives appeared at the fence ; but they will not be arreßted. The fencing material Was carted into the camp yesterday. Twenty-two natives came down and amused, themselves with fencing and occasional hakas all day long, whilst as many more of their companions looked on from the neighboring hills. Many of the natives now sent to fence are mere boys, some very young indeed. Yesterday the spokesman of the party wished to enter into a discussion with the Native Minister, but the latter recognised him as a Wanganui native whom he had known as a boy and servant to a settler. He therefore refused to consult with any but the chief of the people and tribal .owners of land. A larger party is expected down to-day. Kaporangi, who is the undoubted tribal chief of this section of the Taranakis, has been very ill lately.
