Murbriek lias gone inland to try and induce I'iiompso.i to come in to Tauranga; but I think his mission will be mu-h like that of Mr. G. S. Grah,un's-I do not think he will accomplish his object- The natives m jMakutu and Rotorua still seem to be determined to H"ht. as the Maketu natives do not wish to give in t,?K. reopa's Pui .Man-ires. The natives here and at Muketu are very liard up for food and seed potatoes to plant for next year's crop, and ih.y have no niouey in either of those places to pay tor eitliei ie one the other, and ofcour.se the storekeepers will not give them credit. Jr. is a K'e'.t lh . e Wll >' tho l*o- - has treated the Iriendly natives down here in keepi.i- them so lon- without holding a court to settle their land claims, so that-they could sod some hint", to keep them from starvation. If the Governdid not care to do this they ought to have advanced them some luonev, so as to keep tllem Irom aCiiiaUy Starving and allow them to put i:> crops lor themselves :,exl year. binc-e writing the above news has reached here tnat they are lighting ut Turauga, ;iud that tho rjbela haro lost seyeu men killed.
