THE URIWERA SURVEY.
Attckxand, May 21. News from Rotorua is to the effect that the Uriwera Natives at Te Whaiti have carried off Mr Phillips’ guide, and stopped Phillips from surveying any further. The police are camped 10 miles from Galatea, on the Napier side of the plain. The unemployed are in tents half a mile distant. The other party is down at Waihou Pah, 20 miles nearer the coast than Galatea. Mr Munro Wilson is taking the levels of what will be the Galatea-Whakatane road. This will go from Waihou over a spur down to the back of Tuapua Station, 10 miles from Whakatane. The Ruatoki-Te Whaiti road will go along the old Maori track, which is being widened so as to take a dray. Mr Webb is laying that road off to Te Whaiti. Inspector Emerson has only eight men at the front, and the Natives are decidedly insolent. lie treats them civilly, but with great firmness. Gisborne, May 21. The Hon Mr Carroll proceeds to-morrow to Galatea, via Napier, to investigate the position, to determine what police shall be stationed in the locality and to inspect the j progressive works now being carried on in the Uriwera country.
