A characteristic Of the late William
Black was his ignorance Of his own
books, and it was very difficult to get
him to talk about his novels. It seem

were returned to the printers Mr.,
Black forgot all about his own crea-

Ofiosr Returns From Manila and tells OF
Affairs There.

Manila.-At night fell Saturday
night Generals Lawton and King
launched and expedition of three gun
boats, with l, 800 picked men in canoes
in tow of the gunboats.
The object of the expedition is to
cross the lake, capture Santa Cruz and
sweep the country to the south.
TO FIGHT AT CALUMP1T.
Washington. Acting Secretary of
War Meiklejohn received a dispatch
Saturday from Major General Otis an
nouncing that the situation is quiet at
Manila.
1t is the quiet before to storm. A
forward movement is impending and
the authorities expect to learn this
week that General MacArthur's diviS-
ion has advanced from Malolos to CAL
umpit, where Aguinaldo and strong
force of insurgents ore located.
General Lawton's advance OH the
rebels south of Manila is for the pur-
pose of scattering them and perhaps
to make demonstration.
General Otis has not yet communi-
Gated his plan of operation to the de-
partment, but the authorities are hope
full that General Macarthur will en-
deavor to defeat Aguinaldo and his
men by flank movement.
1t is feared that if the troops simply
march along the railroad to Calumpit
the insurgents will retreat further to
the north so that the movement will
not produce any satisfactory results.
Acknowledgement Corbin has re-
ceived from Gen. Otis reports showing
that about $500 men will be required
to bring the complement of men in the
regiments up to the strength author
lied by the president under the pro
visions Of the new army law. The
men will be sent to Manila as soon as
possible.

MIR. WALTER MAKES ANSWER.
Response to Allegations Filed by
David VI. Lea.

Mr.. John Fl. Walter today. through At
torney W. Mosby Williams, filed answer in
the suit of David NJ. Lea against Thomas H.
ford and others 1t will be remembered
that several months ago Mr.. Lea filed a bill
for discovery and accounting against the
defendants. alleging, in substance, that he
and they were partners in the erection Of
thirty houses In square II on 9th street
northeast, and five houses at the corner
of 18th and K streets northwest, involving
the expenditure of over $100,0U-
Mr.. Walters answer expressly denies that
he and his co-defendant were ever in any
transaction, partners jointly. or in COM
mon Interested with Lea in any building
or other transaction whatever, and alleges
to the contrary that Lea purchased from
the defendants twenty-five lots in square
9l3 for which they partly took second
trust notes, and that by reason of Lea 5
default it was necessary to foreciose the
trust, and that there is still due Walter,
SO it is alleged on account thereof $1,000
1t is also alleged in the answer that the
only connection Walter had with the 18th
and r street property was as broker, he
having sold the lots to Lea. and expected,
under his agreement with him, to have the
sale and renting of the houses to be built
upon the lots, and that by reason, 1t is
averred, of his agency in the premises. Lea
is indebted to Walter in the sum of Ss4T As.
Mr. Walter also says in his answer that
before the complainant filed the bill the
latter and his counsel requested Walter to
permit his name to be used a complain
ant with Lea against his co-defendant.
That at that time Lea made no charge or
claim against Walter, but upon his declin-
ing to grant the request, as Walter said
he had nothing to sue his co-defendant for
the complainant turned around and also
sued this defendant. He also denies that
he had control of any of the loan moneys
and. on the contrary, AYERS that the same
was disbursed by Lea and the sureties on
his bonds to secure the loaning associations.

NOT ENTITLED TO REGISTRY.
The Case of the SciDiO Typical Of
Many Others.

Attorney General Griggs has rendered an
opinion sustaining The decision of the COM
missioner of navigation mat the vessel
ScipiO is not entitled to registry under the
laws of the United States. The Scipio was
purchased by the navy during the war with
Spain and was used as collier. She is to
be sold and her value would be much en-
HANGED should she be able to secure Amer
lean register 1t was the opinion of a num-
Der Of navy officials that as the vessel was
the property of the United States she could
secure American register NOTWITHSTANDING
she was a foreign-built boat.
Commissioner Chamberlain, in his de-
cision on the subject, said:
THE question which the Secretary of the
Navy desires to have submitted to the
Attorney General Is important. as a score
of foreign-built merchant steamships ap
gregating nearly 100000 tons, and valued
at perhaps S6,000000, have been purcha sed
by the War and Navy departments.
Il am confirmed in the decision that Com
gress did not contemplate IA breach in the
registry laws when the government was
empowered to buy foreign built merchant
vessels for war purposes by the action
taken i'll the matter of the tariff"
The Attorney General says the law ,s
positive and specific in its terms, and saws.
Doubtless it wer1ld be ADVANTAGEOUS ro
permit vessels of the character of the Scnio
to be admitted to the rights of local regis
try equally with vessels condemned as law
full prize and sold such under the an
thority of the government. But Conpress
has provided for the registry of vessels
of the latter class and has forbidden the
registry of vessels of the former class
