THE WAIMATE PLAINS.
[nv telegraph, from our special corkf.s FONDEST.]
Wep.ekino, Sunday. COLONEL TVHITMORE.
A t?LcC:~' am has been received in camp from Colonel V-' hit more, announcing that he will visit the- .'lains. He is expected here tomorrow. Speculation is rife as to whether 'his visit is official or private. It is thought likely that Government had asked him to consult i'li the commanding officers here relative to the plan of operations in the event of a war. I know from Colonel Whitmore s own lips what hi* personal views when a member of the late Ministry were relative to the settlement of the Plains difficulty, and am sure if his advice were taken now thing 3 will soon be lively.
THE LABOURERS. Yesterday the unemployed were armed for the first time with Enfields, and drilled.
TE WHITI. Since the late Parihaka meeting Te Whiti is very pouri, and is credited with having said that the first soldiers who crossed Waiweremu, the boundary between Punehu and Paiihaka, will die. Tohu's influence is evidently in the ascendant. [by telegraph, press association.]
Hawera, Saturday. Iso political significance is attachable to the impounding of Stevenson's horses. They had and were caught by natives. Everything is going on satisfactorily here The cam!? is expected to be shifted next ■week.
