TE WHITI'S ADVICE TO HIS PEOPLE. SETTLERS' PATIENCE TRIED. Patea, This Day, 9.10 a.m.
"Heed not the pakeha/' says Te Whiti to the special messenger sent to Parihaka for instructions; "My decision has gone forth, go on with your ploughing !" Such is Te Whlti's latest instruction. The natives are camped on the other side of the Waingongoro, and are increasing in numbers. They will resume, or attempt to resume, their ploughing again, and they are very strongly backed by a greater number of natives than, before, but this time r they wULbe^more severely handled. T,hey will undoubtedly be as persistent in ploughing as the settlers are that they shall not go on, so that there is every probability of the natives using 1 force against force. The settlers' patience will be tried to the utmost, and what will hjtppen it is hard to say tfifty A.C. menpassed through Patea yesterday on their to Waihi. Some few were quite knocked up, but their orders were to make Manutahi that night, and reach Waihi to-day. Major Kemp and other natives of influence are going to the Waingongoro to-day to speak to speak to the natives on the other side, and inform them that if they persist in their plougbing they will be taken prisoners and locked up.
