 THE PROCLAMATION

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-At Il o'clock tonight Adjutant General Cor bin received from General Shafter an acknowledgment of the receipt by him of the proclamation of the President. Up to midnight no reply has been re- ceived from General Miles. it having been impossible to get into communica- ton with him.
 Tn response to the notification sent to General Fitzhugh Lee. the former Consul General at Havana wired the War Department: Thanks: the Sew enth Corps has ceased firing. Unoft1- cial.''
 It is well understood that General Lees command was being reserved for the attack on Havana, if the neces- sity for one should arise. As an official of the War Department expressed it tonight, Tt was a bit of the sarcasm of fate that Lee did not have a part in the active operations in Cuba or Porto Rico.''

A New Trolley Line.

The Berkshire Courier of July 28th devotes over half column of space to ''The latest proposed railway" which is . trolley line from Canaan, Conn.,, to Great Burlington, Msss., through New Marlboro. Part of the route has already been surveyed, and is of easy grade. The route is about IT miles long. The Courier describes the route as follows: Leaving Canaan near the railway station the road as proposed runs north for about one mile, then north east to Clayton from which point it will follow the Konkapot valley through Mill River to Hartsville. thence running along the east shore of Lake Buel to the top of Three Mile hill and following the state road to the suburbs of Great Harrington. thence through Brooklyn" and up Bridge street to the post office.
 The Courier mentions the benefit the road would be to the section it passes through. It is thought the road can be run by water power.
 We hope the project will materialize. If the water power of the Konkapot valley proves insufficient then hitch on the water power at Falls Village which is unlimited and could run this Berk- shire county trolley besides running the trolley from Canaan to Pine Grove, Twin Lakes. Sage's Ravine, Salisbury, Lskeville. Prospect Hill. MilIerton, Sharon, Lime Rock and Falls Village.

Notwithstand the statements that have been received at Washington say ing that Spain has agreed to our terms of peace. President Mckinley has not changed his course in any way as to the advance of the army and navy. Mat ters have gone on as before in regard to the advance of Gen. Miles forces upon Porto Rico. No late news has been re- ceived from Manila. which has created some uneasiness in Washington, as rumors of an engagement between Dewey and the Spaniards at Manila have been received. To go ahead just as we have been doing until news from m official source has been received is the determination at Washington.
