THE MARINE BAND.

A Denial of the Story That 1t is
Stranded in Texas.
The officers of the marine corps deny
that there is anything in the story that the
members of the Marine Band are practi-
cally stranded in the south and are work.
ing their way back to this city, as was
published in The Star last evening. 1t was
then said that the officers knew nothing of
the case, and believed that the absence of
information meant that the statements
contained in the letter that was received
here from a member of the band were
without foundation. Last evening one of
the officers. speaking with authority, said
that communication had been had with
Prof Fanciulli. who replied that the letter
was not true, that the manager of the tour
had not abandoned the band and that the
financial situation was not strained This
officer said that two of the members of the
band had deserted, and the inference was
that the letter had been written by one of
them.
The officer also said that # the band had
been in distress and unable to get back 10
Washington the marine corps stood ready
and willing to advance the money neces-
sary to extricate the members from their
predicament. AS proof of the poor foun-
dation of the statements made in the let
ter it was asserted by the officer that ap-
plication was made only a day or so ago
tended, so that the band could meet other
engagements. This permission was refused
and the band will return to Washington on
the 9Th day of May, instead of on the 10th
the date to which it was requested that the
leave be extended.
