 FL PASO, Texas, Apr. 7.-Twelve Germans supposed to be connected with the German secret service were arrested tonight and sent to the stockade at Ft. Bliss. They were seized by the department of justice agents, who have redoubled their ac- tivities since the declaration of a state of war.
 All today secret service agents and representatives, assisted by provost guards from F't. Bliss, have been searching houses throughout the city that have been under observation for weeks. Many persons have been rounded up and are being put through an examination regarding certain alleged activities that have brought them under suspicion.

DISCOVERED IN
 NIX OF TIME
Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Apr. An attempt was made to destroy the United States cruiser Cincinnati at Shanghai on the night of March 16, according to E. L. McAdam, who has just ar rived here from a trip to the Orient. MT. McAdam was in Shanghai at the time of the attempt, and says that there is no doubt that 1t was the result of a deep laid plot by the crew of an interned German vessel in the Yang Tse Poo river.
 This ship, which was anchored well up in the river on the night in ques- ton swung down from her mooring place until near the cruiser Cincin- nati which was anchored in the harbor. The following morning the Chinese government seized all the interned German ships, and the boat that had moved near the United States warship was found to be loaded with high power explosives. which had evidently been smuggled aboard. These were all ready for touching off, the fuses being laid. and it was plainly evident that the intention was to blow up the cruiser.
 There were enough of the explo- sives on the boat to have blown the American ship entirely out of the water. Following the discovery of the plot, all the German naval re- servists were placed in confinement.
