A BANKING QUESTION.
That Means a Good Deal to the Tax payers of San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21-Judge Seawell is hearing argument in the case of the Nevada bank against the city. It is the first of a series of suits begun by the bank to prevent the as sessment and taxation of it's credits with foreign banks, and a large sum is involved. The mercantile banks all have deposits with foreign banks, kept there in order to meet drafts. The contention of the city is that these are not special deposits taxable in the other states or countries, but should be regarded as debts due the local banks For the banks it is urged that the deposits are of a special character and exempt from local taxation.

THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.
Many Recruits All Over the Country
 Enlist in Cuba's Caus

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec 21- Twenty young men left Kansas City last night, bound for Cuba, there to help in the fight for freedom. Twenty left few days ago and twenty more will leave before this week is out, at least so the leaders in the Cuba fibre movement say.
 A score or more cadets from the high school marched into Colonel Haf- riman's office in the Shelby building last night and stated their willingness to go and fight for Cuba. Of course their offer was not accepted, but in a short speech they were told that America need never fear while such patriotism flourished in the hearts of the young. A letter was received by Colonel Hartman yesterday from a well known border character, stating that he and 200 comrades on Texas ranches were ready at any time to an swer Cuba's call for help. This offer was accepted and before long true American border warfare will be prac- ticed along the trocha. #
 Several Third regiment men have al i ready gone to the scene of action and one of the captains said yesterday that in the event of Cuban Independence being recognized by congress there wouldn't be corporals' guard of the regiment left in Kansas City. Colonel Hartman is only waiting for this ac- tion of congress. Day after day, for the past month, he has taken down names of those who wanted to enlist in Cuba's cause.
 His roster is long now, very long. Some of the more impatient have been
 sent down, but there is still an army
 in town. Hartman says he can lay his hands on every man at moments s
 notice. The white and blue flag of the
 insurgent islanders hung across the
 Ninth street hill above the junction
 yesterday, but todays rain was too
 wet for it. It will be out again to-
 morrow, however Cards with the fol- lowing inscription, 'f1776-1SS6-Be Pa triotic. Buy Red Cross Button and
 Help Cuba's Sick and Wounded Sol- diers,'' are hung about the town to
 day. The buttons are selling for 10
 cents and are going fast
 A box for the reception of contribu- tions to the Red Cross fund has been placed on the southwest corner of the ;. junction. Mayor Jones holds the only key. In a few days subscription lists for the fund will be started Colonel
 Hartman thinks this fine chance fol young ladies, periodically, eharitably and humanely inclined,' to offer their services in circulating these lists. A Cuban fair after the holidays is an other way by which funds will be raised
