BREAK BETWEEN COSTA
 RIGA AND GERMANY
German Residents Have Been Con- spiring Against Costa Rica.

San Jos, Costa Rica. Sept. 17.-Dip- 1omatic relations between Costa Rica and Germany are considered severed as the result of steps taken by the gov ernment today. General Tinoco, the president, discovered that German res dients here had joined with some of followers of Former President Gonza- leg in conspiring against the govern ment. Three of the most prominent Germans here, Kumpel,' Altschul and Orlich, have been arrested. All Ger mans residing in Costa Rican ports have been ordered interned. President Tinoco has called congress in special session and will lay the matter before it.
 General Tinoco, president of Costa Rica, assumed that office in January 1917, when the Gonzalez government was overthrown. Gonzalez appealed to the United States to intervene, but the American government took no ac- ton. In an election held in April General Tinoco was chosen president. The American government however has refused to recognize the Tinoco government.
 There have been reports several times since last April that Germans in Costa Rica and Former President Con zalez were implicated in plot to de- pose Tinoco. Late in April it was re- ported that Costa Rica would declare war on Germany provided the United States recognized the Tinoco govern ment.
