Honolulu, Apr. 4. George P. Cooke reported that a Hawaiian of Molokai recalls [???] the large bathing pool of King Kamehameha V, while the king was living in Kaunakahakai, and this pool is filled with dirt now; and that Hawaiian recalls some springs near that pool of Kamehameha V. There are reservoirs being dug in the area near where that man spoke of, and [???]; the water from these places is well suited for the growing crops. There is a water pump pumping [??] thousand gallons of water every 24 hours. This is a great help [?] to Molokai.

[Found under, “Local News”]

The government building, “Aliiolani” is being demolished; its roof, rafters, and beams are all gone, and only its stone walls remain, and it will be rebuilt and will be a new, splendid structure. It was from the time that Kamehameha V. was ruling as king.

Seven Deer—The Hawaiian Consul in Japan sent to our Benevolent King Kapuaiwa, eight live deer, however one died at sea. These deer were given as a gift to our King. We hear that these deer will be shipped to Molokai and set free; perhaps they will increase should they all live healthily for a long time. We recall that some were taken to Parker Ranch in Waimea, but what became of those deer; maybe they are roaming the cold forests of that mountainous land [aina mauna], and maybe they gave birth to young and are multiplying and becoming abundant on that island.
