NATIVE DEPUTATIONS TO MR. CADMAN.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRISPOXDENT.] Rotokca, Wednesday. The Native Minister had a busy time last night and this forenoon with deputations of Maoris, making all sorts of lemands, such as increasing pensions, repairhg flour-mills, providing fencing wire, etc. The Hon. Mr. Cadrnan, who by his firmness on such questions, has shown much aptitude for the position he now fills, gave a pitient hearing to all his interviewers, but let them understaud in unmistakable language that they were not to expect assistance from the Government.
Nguhuruhuru asked the Native Minister to open negotiations for the purchase of Waiotapu. This being a matter of some interest, the Nativo Minister promised to consider it.
A marble tablet in memory of the late Paul Te Amohau, and presented by the Government in recognition oi his services to the colony, was to have been placed inside the English Church, but Ngahuruhuru and others object to its being put there. Mr. Cadman was asked to decide what should be done. Hβ advised that the tablet be kept by Mr. Malfroy until the natives themselves can agree as to where it shall be erected.
