THE WHATAWHATA NATIVES.
MORP DEATHS AND GREAT SICKNESS. Ma W. A. Graham, Chairman of the Waikato Hospital Board, who has interested himself so much on behalf of the distressed natives at Whatawhata, has received another telegram from the Native Minister, authorising biin to act to the best of his judgment in providing the Maoris with medical aid and medicines. ]>. March was again despatched yesterday to the settlement to attend those who have been reported sick. Since then a native has come in and reported that another death has taken place at Biuenose, and that as many as thirteen natives there were lying ill. We sincerely trust the utmost efforts wili be used to effect relief to these uufortnnato people, and to prevent a panic amongst them which will be more fatal to them than the sickness itself.
