Wellington, April 26, 6 p.m. The Patea correspondent of the Wanganui Times states that Titoko, with 500 men, is returning to his old haunts; that the district scouts are afraid to go out, and that supplies of firewood are becoming short. The correspondent talks of having to abandon the district again, if Titoko occupies Waitotara. Colonel Lyons had been sent ‘for, and had left Wanganui. The Ngatiporous are reported as anxious to return to the East Coast. The fires of four Hau-haus were seen near Manawapou. Two of the enemy came into camp and received protection from Mr Booth. The Government has not received any information regarding the above, and its authenticity is doubtful. Nameb, April*26, 7.41 p.m. The steamer Lyttelton, with the Constabulary, is windbound off Black Head, and being short of provisions, the Ahuriri has been chartered to go to her assistance. The Ahuriri takes troops and natives to Wairoa, whence an expedition is about to start to meet Colonel Whitmore in the Uriwera country; he is now at Ahikeru. The Mohaka alarm was caused by the remainder of the Hau-haus going. The St Kilda, with Mr Richmond on hoard, has gone for the Ngatiporou to join the expedition. Great preparations are being made in Auckland for the reception of the Prince, 220 vessels are to form two lines in the harbour.
