He Has Been Acting Strangely and Is
Believed to he Feicning Insanity.
For day or two past Marshall Car
rington, the negro lately convicted in
the Criminal Court of a felony, in en-
tering the Harden boarding house, on
North Main street, has been acting
strangely, and with the idea that per-
haps there was some mental disturb
ance, the authorities called in physi-
clans TO examine him.
Last evening Jailor Mccormick stated
to Register reporter that the indica-
lions appeared to warrant the BELIEF
that Darlington was shamming, as the
second case to be brought to trial on
April 9Th, had come to him a little un-
expectedly.
A day or two will develop the facts
in Carrington's case and in the mean
time he will be closely watched.

Lack of II National Flag Deprives
Them of Much Business.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The main
feature of the cabinet meeting today was
the reading and discussion of detailed re-
port from General Otis regarding the mill
tary operations in the Philippines. The re-
port carried the operations up to April and
Is considered satisfactory. 1t was decided
to make 1t public. 1t will probably be given
out by Secretary Alger this afternoon.
Secretary Gage brought up the question
of flag for the Cuban shipping. About
$4,000, 900 worth of Cuban shipping is tied
up and prevented from engaging in nterna
tional trade because it had no flag to sail
under. The owners have repeatedly ap-
pealed for relief and after explaining the
situation to the cabinet today the whole
matter was referred to Secretary Gage for
solution If one could be found. Relief was
offered so far as cOastwise trade Is con-
cerned by the recognition of the Cuban flag
for this purpose. But foreign countries can
not recognize the flag nf country that does
not exist, and American registry cannot be
granted to ships owned by citizens of a
foreign country. The question presents
many complications and it is recognized
that a great injustice is being done to the
Cuban owners Of ships under the existing
state of affairs. Secretary Gage will con-
fer with the Bureau of Navigation regard
ing the matter in the hope that some solu-
tion may be found
General Otis report received by mail
and read by the president at the cabinet
meeting today, is pronounced by those who
heard it a most interesting summary of
the situation in the Philippines. In the
main 1t presents the subject from the mill
tary standpoint, But probably the most
important contribution is that covering the
correspondence between General Otis and
Aguinaldo, just preceding the outbreak,
showing conclusiyely that the American
commander used every effort to avoid con-
nict. The communications from Aguinaldo
bear his signature, and give little evidence
OF a conciliatory spirit or a disposition to
accept American rule, The members of the
cabinet believe that they furnish a conclusive
showing of the rectitude of our coruse In

soaked during the first half of May for a
number Of years as now, and crops of every
kind are growing rapidly despite the cold.
The wheat ecreage is estimated somewhat
below last year. while that of corn is likely
to exceed that OF last year very considerably
if weather permits planting. Many farmers
contemplate breaking new ground and SOW

acreage of this crop, which for several years
past has been very light There is demand
