MILL VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB.
Denial of the RumOr That 1T Is Ftnan-
cinILH EnlhnrrnSsed

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Jan. 1S.-There
is absolutely no truth in the reports being
circulated to the effect that the Mill Val
ley Country Club is financially embar-
raised and that Secretary James has been
compelled to pay number of the clubs
bills out of his own pocket. In fact, there
is provision in the constitution and by
laws OF the club which limits the amount
OF Liabilities to the assets. The club IS
composed of Mill Valleys leading citizens,
and IL is not probable that they would al
low any honorable debts to remain I'M
paid.
Vice President Arthur a. Martin was
seen by CALL representative, and said
positively that the club was not in debt.
The club, though not in debt, has very
little to its credit, as all funds available
have been used 10 improve the club
grounds-build rifle-target butt and gun
house, lay out baseball and cricket fields
and build concrete cricket-pitch. The
next season OF the club VIII open in q
couple of months, when it is hoped, by
various means, 10 obtain money sufficient
to erect a good substantial clubhouse.

an EXPEDITION FoR CUBA.

NeIc York Guardsnten Said to Be Asnong
the fifibusters.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-A morn
ing paper says: Reports have been circu-
lated for the last few days that the Cubans
were organizing tilibusterlng expedition
in Brooklyn to consist partly of members
of the Twenty-thlrd and the Forty-seventh
regiments of the New York National
Guard.
Until yesterday these rumors were SO
vague that little attention was paid to
them, but it now appears that the Spanish
authorities have not only been informed
on the subject, but have taken action to
thwart the contemplated expedition.
Several men called during the week at
Cuban headquarters and said they desired
to join the expedition, but recognizing
among them detective employed by the
Spanish Consul the applicants were told
that the Junta was not enlisting men and
that if an expedition was being organized
the promoters were acting on their own
responsibility.
While the foregoing facts were made
public yesterday, something occurred in
the private room of the Cuban Legation
that gives considerable color to the reports
regarding a contemplated expedition A
Cuban was seated in the room, who was
once coadjutor of Marti, the father of the
revolution.
He became very indignant that any de-
tails should have been given to the press,
and scored the press agent for doing so.
The headquarters of the Junta were
crowded all day yesterday with Cubans
who were excited over the report from
Washington that Secretary Olney was
soon going to submit plan to Congress to
assist the Cubans in buying the island
from Spain, and failing in that, to practi-
cally recognize them as belIgerents.
