THE WAR.
[by electric telegraph.] Wellington, Nov. 27, 7 p.m. It is considered highly satisfactory that the Government denial of the wording of the premium clauses is confirmed. The premium clauses assented to are as follows : — " A premium will be given by the Government, of £5 for every man or lad belonging to the enemy brought in alive by the bush volunteers, whether such prisoners be wounded or not." " A special reward of £1000 is promised to the corps for the person of Titokowaru." The letter from Pipiriki natives to Mr Buller, as to the general rising, is published, but very little faith is put in it, even at Wanganui. The whereabouts of Tito is still a mystery. A party of mounted Constabulary is gone to Patea to return with authentic information if possible. \QjSi&y Bowen goes to Auckland for a lew days. The Governor will embark in H.M. steam ram Blanche, for Hokitika, on Tuesday, if arrived from Sydney, and not ordered to the East Coast. ><The Lady Bird is taking an Armstrong gun, cohorns, and ammunition to Napier. Mr Travers, who held a commission in 1860, will probably be appointed to the command of the premier Militia Company. There is no further news from Napier.
