The spanish War Claims.

Under the peace treaty with Spain both
countries relinquish all claims for indem-
nifty growing out of the instruction in
Cuba, and our government agrees to ad-
Indicate and settle the claims of its own
citizens against Spain. Over six score
claimants have filed their demands at the
state department, and they aggregate about
$29,OOO,OOO. They include damages for
property destroyed, for arrest and imprison-
ment with accompanying sufferings, for
the death of imprisoned relatives, as in the
well-known case of Mrs. Ruiz; for expul-
sion from Cuba, as in the case of war cor
respondents and others, and, in short, for
all injuries to person or property. Very
likely the list may go above $4,000, 900,
as 1t has increased more than $4,000, 900
since the close of hostilities. Many of the
claims are regarded as fictitious and prob
ably large part of them will be rejected.

There was conference at the G. P.
Parker farm in East Putney Tuesday be-
tween Mark Ward and H. p. Farr, referees
in the suit of G. p Parker against S. W,
Hart and w. A. Martin. Mr.. Hart and
Mr.. Martin have carried on Mr.. Parker's
farm by the halves during the past year,
their lease expiring April l. A few weeks
ago they hired farm in Marlboro, which
they are to take when their lease of Mr..
Parker's farm expires, and began moving
their goods there. Mr.. Parker claimed
that they had moved things which did not
belong to them and he got Deputy Sheriff
A. w. j. wilkins to arrest them March s..
The parties agreed to referee the matter,
Mr.. Parker choosing Mr.. Ward and Hart
and Martin choosing Mr. Farr. Mr. Par
ker claimed that Hart and Martin took
property belonging to him valued at 5000.
The property in dispute consisted of y
sheep, quantity of hay and some grain.
Mr.. Parker also claimed that they had sold
grain belonging to him. Hart and Martin
admitted taking II sheep, but claimed that
they belonged to them as their half of the
sheep which had been raised during the
year. They claimed that they took only
their half of the grain and they denied hav-
ing taken any hay. They further claimed
that Mr.. Parker had sold hay belonging to
them. The referees were unable to agree
and there will be hearing tomorrow be-
fore Justice A. j. Aver to settle the dis
pute.
