 VICTIMS OF THE DESERT. MAY BE.-Fears for the safety of that cos mopolitan party which left here for the Agua Caliente hot springs a month ago rose high last night. The members of the party are. or perhaps were. Ed Ruppert, Jake Miller. Robert Fromm and Heinrich Taafe. natives of County Fermanash, Ireland; Hiram Eldred of the Bosque provinces ana Jeremiah Sullivan of SchlesWiG- -Holstein. About week before St. Patrick's day their friends wrote them and sent along seV- eral yards of green ribbon for the pa
 triotic use of Messrs. Ruppert. Fromm, Taafe and Miller. The letters and rib
 bon were returned yesterday morning. and last night deta chment of burros, which were recognized as the pack ami
 mals of the party. came into town un- attended. Joseph Monihon. ever on the alert for the welfare of his German countrymen. organized d party for the relief of Mir. Sullivan. It started out immediately under the direction or Capt Hi Mcdonald. The friends of the missing men cling to the hope that they have not perished of thirst. That hope is based on their knowledge of the way things have been going at the hot springs lately. They say that any member of the party can go without water for d month. and even longer.
