Take Care. There is Danger


in allowing inactivity of the kidneys to
grow through neglect. The deadly shoals
of Bright's disease and diabetes will
wreck the goodly bark of health If it is al
lowed to drift ruderless upon them. The
bladder, too, if inactive, and judicious
medication does not speedily direct the
helm toward the port of safety, will be
whelmed by the quicksand of disease. In
selecting diuretlc, let your choice fall on
Hostetters's Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the renal organs without ir-
ritating and exciting them, two effects to
be apprehended from the unmedicated
stimuli largely resorted to. These have
tendency to react prejudicially. The Bit
tiers invigorate the kidneys and bladder,
common with the nerves and the diges-
tive organs, and 30 affording lasting aid.
It also affords dual assistance in pre-
venting and curing intermittent and re-
mittent fever. Bllliousness, constipation
and rheumatism it also subjugates.

.RUSsIA'S GENEROUS OFFER
To Lend Uncle Sam Four Hum
dred Million Dollars.
The Offer Was Made to Secretary Gresham
When MIR. ClsYeland Had Been In or.
Zoe Almost Eight Months, but It still
Holds Good-It Wa, Gratefully Do.
clinsd at First Because Not Needed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Great inter.
est was excited In official circles here
to-day by the publication in the Wash
tngton Post under q New York date of
o oircumstantisl statement to the effect
that the Russian government had offered
to lend the United. States any amount
OF gold up to four hundred million dol
lars, one half of It's total possessions of
this specie, in order to maintain It's
credi. against assaults from the great
moneypowers OF other European nations,
and that learning of this tender the
Rothschilds through Measrs. Belmont
and Morgan had made overtures to lot
the United States have any amount OF
gold needed.
The statement Is learned 10 sccurs to,
30 far as concerns the fact that Russia
rendered the United States part of its
store of gold; but the natural Inference
that this offer was recent one made in
consequence of the late Venezuelan
message and subsequent panic is not
warranted; for 1t may be asserted posi-
lively. and on exceedingly good author
ity. that the tender was in no manner
influenced by the com plications now OK
k6tluk UotW6Gu 6u6 OnlGPQ STATES and
Great Britain.
The Russian government for ten
years has been accommodating gold In
many cases at great disadvantage.
owing to the hostility of the money
lenders OF Central and Western Europe,
and much OF this gold was purchased in
the open market by secret agents of the
Russian government. The purpose was
only to provide against contem pla ted
change in the Russian monetary syatem
by raising the silver ruble to a parity
with gold. The procedure In this case
was similar TO that of Secretary Soer-
man when he accumulated the SlO0, OOO,-
600 gold reserve as preliminary to de-
clarinE the Treasury ready to redeem
in gold the greenbacks used during the
last war.
Taking cognizance of the situation in
the Untted States government, with
which 1t always had been on terms of
which and Itself there were NO conflict
ing interests likely to arise, Secretary
Gresham, through Prince Cantacuzene,
then Russian minister 70 Washington,
WAS notified that Russia stood ready to
part with half of her store of gold, II 30
much was necessary, to the United
States In order to protect her old time
friendship in the family OF nations. This
tender was made about eight months
after President Cleveland assumed the
Presidential offlce for his second term
At the time OF tho offer it was
gratefully acknowledged, but ae the
capitalists OF other nations gained an
inkling OF the fact that tho tender had
been made, IL was found that the terms
upon which gold could be procured in
the open market ss consequence OF
Russia's tender were 30 favorable as to
render 1t unnecessary to tsx tho friend !.
ship OF Russia. A. present. so it is
understood. the Russian offer still holds
good, and about the only now phase of
the situation is that the fact has been
made known freshly to European gold
brokers.

HAVANA IN DANGER OF Capture.
Tho Insurgents Said to be Only Fifty

Havana, after forcing it's way into the
province OF Santa Clara and into the
province OF Matanzas, in spite of the
EFFORTS OF Captain- General Campos and
ABOUT $4,000 troops at his disposal in the
territory traversed and invaded. The
reported important battle yesterday be-
tween the Spaniards under Campos and
the insurgents at Coliseo plantation,

The result of the engagement WAS
virtually defeat for Campos' forces for
sne Cuban army pushed onward un-
checked and Is still advancing on. this
CITY. The fighting took place amid
burning cane, under wo3d, tall grass
and trees, and was of the usual Suer-
rilla nature. Tho Cubans following
snelr customary tactics, seemed to melt
away Into tho distance so soon as the
troops got within sighting distance of
them and nearly all the firing WAS at
very longe ranga, although the soldiers
made several gallant charges through
the burning territory. ID
The admirers OF tho Captain general
claim that he is allowing the Cubsns to
get by him and nearer and nearer to
Havana only for the purpose of even
tually falling upon them in tho rear
and scattering them to ell the points OF
the compass. This sounds plausible
enough, but the insurgents are destroy
