Honolulu, s. l., March 2,

Honolulu, s. l., March 3,
VIA SAN FRANCISCO, March 12, 1871.
At seven minutes past ten o'clock on the
evening of February Is very severe shock
Of earthquake was experienced at these
islands. With few exceptions the walls Of
all the stone or adobe buildings were injured.
The cottage buildings at Punahoa are damaged
extensively Many persons rushed into the
streets from their beds.
Three distinct motions were felt-first
shaking horizontally, then perpendiculary, and
the finish was distinct wave motion from the
southwest. The violence Of the shock lasted
twenty seconds, the whole fully a minute.
AT Lahaika much damage was done to
buildings. The Seminary buildings suffered
most, the walls being shaken to pieces, though
they did not fall At McKee's plantation
train Of sugar kettles was badly injured.
Other localities did not suffer much.
At Molokai nearly all the stone walls were
down. The road to the Leper Asylum was
destroyed.
On Lanaia the shock was very severe.
Clefts have been opened on different parts Of
the island, the valley being full OF masses of
earth and rocks shaken from the mountain
tops.
On Hawaii but little damage was DONE.
The Ho and Kau districts received slight
shaking. The volcano is very active, but was
evidently innocent of participation in the
earthquake. Parties on two different islands
state that bright light was visible in the
eastern sky. Chunnies on sugar plantations
suffered little. Several shocks have been
experienced since, but they were not severe.
The labor question will soon be settled.
Two companies Of Chinese have landed here
seeking work-one from China and one from
