PATEA, this day.
TROUBLE ON THE WEST COAST.
Native affairs are again beginning to look serious. Te Whiti, presuming from the tardiness of the Government that they are afraid of taking any active measures against him, is encouraging the Maories in that belief. Hardly any warriors who went to Parihaka have returned. It is stated they are going to build forts on the plains and in the event of any action being taken by the pakeha against them, they will retaliate. Tho prisoners, according to Te Whiti's view, will be released in October, the time when, as he prophesies, the Sou of God is again to appear on earth aud confound Te Whiti's enemies.
