Baltimore. Md, Jan. 24.-The Ameri-
can steamship Laurada, Captain
Hughes, which has been charged by
the Spanish agents and representa-
tives in this country with having sue
cessfully landed a number of flibuster-
ing expeditions within the Cuban lines
is at Hampton Roads with a cargo of
oranges and lemons, from Palermo
and Messina, consigned to this city.
The firm has not definitely decided,
owing to the condition of the fruit mar
ket. whether the Laurada Will be or
dered at this port or to New York,
Philadelphia or Boston. The present
commander, Captain Hughes. is not the
one who had charge of the steamer
when she is alleged to have violated
the neutrality laws. The old captain
left the Laurada at Palermo when she
was ordered to sail for Valencia, Spain,
in the early part of December.

Chicago, Jan 24-The cold wave
which reached Chicago last night
lighted its grip today. and at mid
night Chicagoans were shivering in a
16-below-zero atmosphere.
At o'clock this morning, the Their
mometer registered IA below
The thermometer then moderated
somewhat, but at no time during the
day did the mercury rise above below.
Shortly after sunset. the temperature
began dropping rapidly and tonight
promises to be a, record breaker. The
weather bureau promises no relief for
four or five days. The suffering among
| the poor is intense, and tomorrow
morning Mayor Swift will issue a
proclamation calling for bread for the
starving.
According to reports made to the
mayor by the bureau of charities and
other committees that have applied to
him, the number of destitute families
is increasing each day until the condi-
lions in some parts of the city are ap-
palling. Immediate relief is necessary,
or it is said many will die of starvation
and cold. The police stations all over
the city are filled with dodgers. Hun
dreds of homes are without fuel or
food, and skilled workmen are begging
on the streets. Committees of charita-
bic institutions and many individual
philanthropists have called upon Mayor
Swift to urge him to make an appeal
to the public for immediate help. No

with hunger. Distributions of fuel and
food have been carried on by the bu
reau of charities. but they say they are
unable to take care of one-ffth of the
people who beg assistance.
County Commissioner HeaIey re-
ported to Mayor Swift yesterday that
the list of needy is growing at the rate
Of from 300 to 500 families a day. These |
are not the families of paupers, but of
skilled wOrkmen who are unable to get
work
Last nights blizzard continued until
early this morning. There was no seri-
GUS delay to street-car traffic. and the
thoroughfares were kept open by the
hundreds of men who were kept at
work all night. Many of those suffer-
ing from want were given an opportun
ity to earn few pennies by clearing
away the snow.
All trains are late, but the delay is
not serious
Through the suggestion of Mayor
Swift, Chief of Police Badenoch issued
an order tonight which will facilitate
the furnishing of relief to such as are
in danger from the want of food or
fuel The patrolmen throughout the
city were ordered to make reports on
all cases of extreme restitution and
explain the character of relief required
on all such reports immediate as

MOVEMENTS OF A BANDIT.

DEATH OF TWO BROTHERS.
Ray Simpson is a Man However

Dead Sure Shot and in Good
Practice.

Tom Mccarthy. the notorious Utah
bandit, whose brothers, George and
Ed, were killed at Delta, Colo, one
year ago by the deadly rife of Roy
Simpson. was once more in the vicin-
ity of Delta during the last few days
of December. Like all other missions
made into that region since the violent
deaths of his brothers. this one was
aVowedly for the purpose of making
Simpson die with his boots on.
Since McCarthy's last visitor he is
now at home in San Juan county
Simpson has sent his compliments to
the aVenging rObber in the guise of a
grim defiance. This intimation from
Simpson that he is expecting McCar-
thy is a fateful trophy of the Delta
postmaster's unerring aim-that same
nervy finger and quick eye which de-
prived Tom Mccarthy of two able and
youthful lieutenants. Simpsons SOU
venir to Mccarthy has been carried in
the pocket of a government secret serv-
ice officer for nearly one month and
came into the possession of a Herald
reporter yesterday, so that the proba-
bility of its finally reaching McCarthy's
hands is rather SLIM.

This is the tyne of a shooter that the
surviving Mccarthy must face if he
ever expects TO avenge the death OF
his blood relatives.
A PLEASING EXPECTANCY.
1t is said that Simpson is hourly ex-
pecting to be shot in the back or else
taken unawares by either the notorious
Tom or close friends of the dead road
agents. That the fight may not be an
unequal one Simpson has procured the
most improved rifles and reVOlVerS and
has become even more expert than
when he coolly picked off the trio that
made the daring bank raid in Delta.
He is much too modest to talk of his re-
markable skill and seldom refers to the
shooting and never as to what he may
anticipate from the surviving mem
bers of the gang. He quietly attends
to the duties of his government posi-
ton and positively refuses to give any
exhibitions of expert marksmanshiO
in public, but not for a moment of life
does that ceaseless vigilance wane,
which is the heritage of nearly every
sid ' tI II an encounter SNOUiQ ever
occur Simpson will not be the ONLY
subject for a coIoner's inquest. When
McCarthy's presence near Delta was
reported last month not a single de-
Election of Simpsons usual department
was noticed. The matter was kept
quiet, so that Mccarthy would not be-
come suspicious, and Simpson silently
and patiently waited for the break that
would wipe away the cause of his
nightmares
Mccarthy did scent something wrong
in these precautionary movements,
and probably decided that it was not
time to strike the blow. If his deci-
sion were the reverse he could not
have gotten out of Delta. for the rea-
son that government officers were
shadowing his footsteps and would
have been at his heels in the event Of
a tragedy. -
Utah officers are inclined to thA
opinion that Mccarthy does not poslH
sess his Old-time spirit and will there
fore never seek to modest the re-
doubtable Colorado postmaster. 1t is
quite well known that Mccarthy has
been living for some time past in San
