This is a great com pliment to General Bell’s ability and speaks well for President McKinley in thus ignoring pelitics ia his army appointments. Judge Noah M. Givan, of Harri sonville, isan able lawyer and well qualified for the high office of su- preme judge, for which he is a can- didate. From the expressions we have heard among our people we believe he will command the sup port of this county at the state con- vention.

New York, May 30—A dispatch to the Journal from Washington saye: At last the army of the Unit- ed States is moving against the Spanish West Indian possessions. After a conference lasting ceveral hours to day the War Board, Gen. Miles and the President decided that there was no longer anything to fear from the Spanish fleet. Or- ders were at once issued to the vol- unteer and regular army corps at Tampa and other southern points to prepare for invasion of Cuba and Porto Rico. Major General Fitzhugh Lee, it 1s| said, will command the army of in- vasion fer Porto Rico and will soon move his headquarters from Tampa to another city.

Word Breught From Cuba. Key West, Fla May 31.—Courri- ers from Cuba to day brought high ly encouraging reperts from Gener- al Calixto Garcia's army.
