THE OPERATIONS AT HAWERA.
Hawera, Friday. ? A native who has just come in says the I Maoris will plough again as soon as the ( weather clears up, perhaps tomorrow. He is fishing for information, and wants to learn the probable treatment the husbandmen will receive i£ they come again. Hβ says soaie of the last crew will not volunteer again, they were so scared the other day. One ± ploughman was in Hawera yesterday, swag- • gering about town as bold as brass. He was not one of the leaders, but says they will S come again, joined by other natives who o have not tried their hands yet. A good t castigation will probably be ad- ( luinisicred next time, and the ploughs , smashed. xi><s attempt at seizing the . Hawera land bas not proved successful. * Some leading \Vaimate chiefs disclaim all connection with the movement, and say, if their followers . ill not act wisely, they must abide by the consequences : they will not * help them. Eow they would have acted ! providing the movemetnent was undisturbed by pakehas, is another matter. ' 1 jnst hear a rumour that the natives are . ploughing Mokoia, a few miles on the , Carlyle side of Hawera. Mr. Livingstone has mustered the ejectment corps in aatioi- ' pation.
