Mrs. J. d. Swinebroad's Mill
merry Parlors have been visited and
literally patronized, not only by
the ladies of Bolivar, but by many
from a distance. Her display of
pattern and trimmed hats has been
pronounced unequaled. Every sale
she has made has given satisfaction.
Her high class, late style headwear
is offered at astonishingly low
prices. 1t is a fact that no two of
her many creations are alike. She
leaves nothing undone to please her
customers. Those who desire to
purchase spring hats are cordially
invited to call at Mrs. Swinebroad's

tin boards today failed to yield any news
from the movements ol either OF the
three nccts-Sampson's, Schlcy's or the
Spanish squadron-and there Is reason TO
believe that the department Itself has re-
crlvrd no Information on that point,
The department officials are beginning
TO show little sonsltyeness to the
criticism In the matter OF the delay IN
bringing the Spanish fleet into action
conscious as they are that they have
made all dispatch compatible with due
regard for the safety Of our own ports
as well as OF the lives OF the crews OF the
warshlps. Every day there is talk OF
change In the naval plans brought about
by some movement OF the Spanish squad
ron. but what tho latest phase Of the cam
palgn is. nobody, outside the members OF
the war board, is competent TO say
The general Impression today Is that
no particular efIort Is to De made Just

sh squadron TO see tha, II does not do
mischief either TO the American fleet, or
by escaping into the Atlantic, to the sea-
board cities.
By this plan the military and naval
officers might hope to silence the rather
severe criticisms that are being expressed
because of the delays In opening the mil
ltary campaign in cuba itself, Consld-
crahlo pressure has come upon the od-
ministIUtlon from congressional quarters
to have the campaign hastened and there
are thought to be signs OF u resumption
OF the plans of the military leaders for the
invasion OF Cuba at the point where they
were suddenly suspended by the announc-
ment of the arrival of the Spanish tlyng
squadron at Martinique.
