Suspicion lias been aroused in the ! diturict that illness (among Maoris are being suppressed from the health authorities, and that patients are being secluded in their homes or removed elsewhere. The outbreak of typhoid at Eoxton is believed to have some connection with an outbreak at Otakeho, 15 miles from Hawera, bat owpig to the stolid reticence of the Maoris it is not known definitely whether cariieis have passed from the Otakeho settlement to Eoxton. A further case of typhoid among the Maoris at Otakeho was admitted to hospital last night. This makes the tenth patient since December 27, and four have died. The reason for this greater proportion of deaths to patients in the Otakelio outbreak as compared with the original epidemic in September last, when one ward at the hospital had. to be set aside for treatment and observation', is attributed to suppression by the Maoris.
