THE WAIMATE PLAINS.
[BY TELEGRAPH; FROM OUR SPECIAI' CORRES-' ' jPOKDEKT.] - THE NEXT MOVE. Wbrekino, April 30. Although so final orders have been ißsded to the officers commanding, everything points to the fact that my prognostications will be carried oat •within a few days, and that Government, in view of an early meeting of Parliament, is anxious to make an extraordinary spurt, so as to obtain as large results as possible for the time and money expended. The officers have already received orders that their baggage must be rednced to a minimum, and there is every indication that future operations will he conducted by means of rapidly-moving columns, leaving the track to be subsequently formed into a road. PROSPECTS. A largo party, of high officials, including Mr. Bryce and Mayor Atkinson, is expected out from New Plymouth to-night. The weather is very changeable, with heavy squalls. Should steady rain set in, the newly-formed road, about to be temporarily abandoned, and on which there is as yet not an ounce of metal, will become wholly impassable, and much work will be entailed next Spring in putting it in order again.
