THEY HAVE Property IN MANILA.

THEY HAVE PROPERTY IN MANILA.
Washington. Jan. 2s.-The cortez broth
ers two Philippine citizens, now In Wash
ington, through Attorney Ralston today
made arrangements before Assistant
Judge Advocate General Morrison at the
War department. to show why a large
quantity OF valuable property In Manila
now In possession OF the United States
military authorities. should be restored to
them.
Their interest reached nearly a million
dollars and about forty other claimants
are in about the same condition.
This property was seized by the Span
ish government at Manila during the in
surrection preceding our war, under the
claim that the Cortez brothers were reb-
els. The Spaniards collected several
thousand dollars monthly IN rentals from
the property. Later on they issued a proc
lamation stating that the property would
be restored 20 the rightful owners upon
their return 10 Manila. But the city being
biockaded by Dewey, the brothers could
not have reached Manila. even had they
chosen 70 do so. So, when the American
forces captured the town, they possessed
themselves OF this property as a part of
the spanish government property. General
Otis has confirmed this statement OF the
facts and has referred the claim 10 the
War department for adjudication.

 The trial of Charles Hart for threa ten ing to kill J. B. Green and some of his family in North Norfolk was held be- fore Justice R. I. Crissey on Saturday. Hart pleaded not guilty and much evi- dence was taken. Hart was represent ed by Attorney Higgins, and the prose- cution by Attorney Herman, both law yers of Winsted. Hart was bound over to the February term of the Superior court under $20O0 bonds, which he was unable to procure, and was sent to Litchfeld. The casa is closely connect ed with the shooting of David Drink water last week, as there was an opinion that Hart shot Drinkwater in mistake for Green. Recent developments, however, somewhat disipate that opin ion. On Friday evening last second Drinkwater, or members of his family Mrs Drinkwater set cup of tea in the pantry window in which was broken glass. Later she drank the tea and immediately became very ill. Dr Saw telle was called and immediately r3liev- ed her.

Norwieh's Queer Custom.
Tho Danbary News says:

LID DhuDuIy NeWb says
 For considerably more than century Norwich has had a custom in vogue at Thanksgiving which is not practIced as far as known in any other town in the country. The practice of burning bar rels on Thanksgiving evening is thought by many to hay, originated in the old observance of Guy Hawkes. day, but it's origin Is somewhat obscure. It has, however, been continuously kept up since it's institution, and has become known end commented upon in all parts of the country. While of late years the custom has somewhat lost interest, it is perpetusted by the small boys with as much vigor as ever.
 In the issue of the CONN. WESTERN NEWS of Nov. an article entitled s'The Gunpowder Plot" told who Guy Fawkes wac; and November passed into his- tory As Guy Hawkes. day. After the ex- posture of the plot and Hawkes. purpose, and his execution, feeling against the Catholics was very strong in England and on the anniversaries of the .memora- ble fifth of November the populace of London would parade the streets bear ing placards "No Popery!" and efigies of tho pope and Fawkes and some of his fellow conspirators were carried about and finally burned in huge bon. fires. The custom began in 1907 and continued many years.
