that no new cases of yellow fever
has developed in New Orleans.
The one case, Mr.. Pippiu, an EN-
ploye Of the Illinois Central, is i'm
proving steadily at his residence,
No. 1923 Euterpe street. The case
was one Of the two reported, and
he is speedily recovering.
The medical authorities Of New
Orleans are watchful, and have
checEed the fever in its incipiency.
There is no cause for alarm, nor
necessity for any quarantine OF

GEN. WOOD ARRIVES
And Gives a Glorious Account
of Affairs at Santiago.

New York, Jan. 10.-The United
States transport Mississippi which sail
ed from Santiago on the evening of
January 4. arrived today. On board
the transport were General Wood, mil
itary governor of Santiago, and Lieu
tenant Hanna, aide-de-camp; DR.. Cas-
tillo, a brother OF the Cuban general,
and Colonel Gibson, who superintended
the distribution of provisions to the
starving Cubans-
General Wood, who was interviewed
at quarantine regarding the protest Of
the people of Santiago over the disposal
of the funds of that province, said he
did not care to talk on that matter be-
fore he visited Washington. There was
some dissatisfaction but nothing to
amount to anything. When he left
Santiago everything was in splendid
shape, schools were being organized and
ready to receive scholars, and nearly
1000 miles of roads had been construct
ed in the province. The customs re-
ceipts were the largest ever collected
and exceeded the amount collected and
turned into the Spanish treasury. Funds
were available for meeting the expenses
of the administration of the province
and the only expense to the
United States would be the
cost of maintaining her army. The best
of feeling prevailed and the general con-
dlt1on OF Things was ali tnat could pc
desired. General Wood appeared to be
in excellent health.
There were on board the transport
ten army officers, belonging to various
regiments, 80 discharged and conval-
escent soldiers, and A civilians, among
this number being IA nurses. Four
bodies were brought home on board
the Mississippi. One of these bodies was
that of Miss Helen Towers, a nurse, who
died recently at San Juan. Captain
Stenson, the commander of the NIiSsis-
sippf, was left in the hospital at San
tiagO suffering from pneumonia. He
was taken sick on December "a while a
Ponce and on reaching Santiago it was
deemed prudent to send him ashore to
the military hospital rather than risk
his life on getting into cold weather
aboard the transport. Chief officer Hop

WHAT CUBA WANTS.
Robert P. Porter Says She Will Ask
Admission as a State

New York, Jan. 10.-Robert P. Por-
ter, President McKinley's special COM
missioner to Cuba and Porto Rico. spoke
last night at Cooper Union on Practical
Problems That Confront Us in Cuba. -
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Peoples Institute and
Charles Sprague Smith, director of the
institute, introduced Mr.. Porter. Mr..
Porter said that Cuba has now, under
the occupation of the United States.
everything she ever fought for. The
United States wants not a foot of her
soil without paying hard cash and will
expend every penny of the Cuban reve-
nues on Cuba.
He said the political future of Cuba
is a difficult problem to dispose of and
thought it advisa bic for the present to
let matters stand as they are. He said
the intelligent Cubans favored annexa-
ton, but it seemed to be a question
whether this country could constitu-
tionally hold islands as colonies.
He is firmly convinced that the Gu
bans can govern themselves and that
they will make application for admis-
sion to the union as a state. From mil
said, it would be insanity to let Cuba
go and the question is therefore in what
state shall it be held.
Mr. Porter in answer to questions said
the labor problem is the most puzzling
one in Cuba. He could not say what
the solution is to be. He said the is
land has a capacity of 1.25O, 900 tons of
sugar annually. but because of lack of
labor the planters can produce but 300,-
600 tons annually. He said that he
thought large capitalists will find profit
able investments in the island, but he
would not advise clerks or men of small
means to go there
He said the future of the island de-
pended altogether upon the upbuiIding
of these great industries, sugar. to-
bacco and iron ore. He prophesied an
era of peace and prosperity for both
Cuba and Porto Rico.

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
~, Painlessly, Without
Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. Then try this, and that and
the other thing: from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a pflysi-
clan. They obtain temporary relief
maybe, but they are never quite cured.
A little strain in lifting. excessive fati-
que, a little constipation or a little d.
arrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much
but they Danish sleep and appetite. No
position is comfortable. There is in
tense local pain and that dreadful feel
ing of weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salves on sale will afford tempor-
airy relief If the case is of long stand
ing, there is only one speedy and sure
remedy. 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even
in light cases it is the safest thing to
use. Other applications may cure and
may not Pyamid Cure is always GER

Gold Bonds Are About to Be
Issued.
Edward Wilder Will Take Them
For Eastern Parties.
INTEREST LOWERED
If the Bonds Are Made Pay able
in Gold
Some People on Huntoon Street
Want 1t to Remain a Mudhole.

For the first time in the history of
the city of Topeka the city council is
about to issue gold bearing bonds.
Up to this time Topeka bonds have
been good payable in the lawful money
of the United States, but some of the
people who want the bonds say they
want gold bonds and the council is
about to fall over itself to comply with
the request.
The request that the bonds should be
payable, principal and interest, in gold,
was made by Treasurer Edward Wilder
of the Santa Fe, who is one of the bid
ders for eastern representatives. He
has promised the council to take the
bonds at a very low rate of interest,
three and a half or four per cent, if
they are made payable in gold.
1T is an evidence of good faith on
the part of the city, said Mr.. Wilder.
The bonds in question are refunding
$4,000 to pay for the Sixth street via
duct The original bonds were good
enough, payable in lawful money of the
United States but the council is nearly
convinced that the new bonds would
not be good unless they are made pay
able in gold.
The issue will be $4,000 as there is
money in the city treasury to pay off
about $4,000. There are several people
anxious to take the bonds but Mr.
Wilder seems to have the inside track
The matter was to have been fixed up
at the council meeting last night but

had not heard from the people in the

posed bond ordinance and he asked for
