THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
SATURDA Y, JUNE %.
News of the Morning.

Among the arrivals this morning are the steamer,
the Moi and Helen from Maui, the Marilda from IA
waihae, the Yette and Mary from Kauai.
The steamer brings as passengers, Messrs. Torbert,
]. J. Halstead, Tilfori, Bucklin and others. She also
brings the native who recently committed murder on
Molokai-an old but gocl-looking man Of sixty, with
white hair AMI whiskers, and a mild inofiensive look.
He has been taken To the prison, to await trial.
notwithstanding the arrival Of the mail with later
dates from San Francisco, there has been an extreme
dearth Of news the past week. The fact that the
telegraph had not been in operation for a week or ten
days is sufficient reason for this state of things.
The fate of Macmillan is still involved in mystery.
We do not credit the report brought by the ship Ben
gal, that lie has escaped into United States territory.
The latest authentic news from Queretaro is an official
letter from President Juarez, dated May Is, to the
American Government, announcing the capture Of
that city with Macmillan.
Another sugar plantation, that of Messrs. Bal &
Adams, went under the hammer on Wednesday last
making the sixth which has succumbed to the fnan-
cial crash brought about by the failure of Walker,
Allen & Co. One still remains - the Princeville
Estate-to be sold September Z.
The attention of farmers is called to the sale of the
land in South Kona, belonging TO the estate of the
late Capt. Cummings. One tract embraces $50 acres
and the other SO, and both are well adapted for graz
ing or agricultural purposes. 1t is not often that
such fine tracts are offered for sale. The steamer
runs regularly to Kealakeakua Bay, and anchors
within 4 mile or two of the land to be sold.
