TWO GERMANS ARE ARRESTED
 FOR A PLOT
Federal Authorities Take Two Who Trying To Injure Steamer
 at Seattle.
CAUGHT RED HANDED

SEATTLE, May 30. Fred Witzen berger and Carl Radke. German members of the crew of the Norweg ian steamer Raja Gala, were arrested this afternoon, charged with attempt ing to ipjure the machinery of the steamer The arrest was made by both federal and local police off cers.
 The Raja Gala had just thrown off her lines ready to sail with full ;argo for South American ports whc the officers announced that a con spiracy had been unearthed. It appears that for the past two days ever since the newspapers have contained advices that the South American countries would all break off diplomatic relations with Ger many and possibly declare war; Wit zenberger and Radka had aroused suspicious.
 Yesterday. when the hour for sail ing was announced the two men were watched by the authorities. Their arrest followed. but the facts have not been made public, except that they were at work injuring the machinery which would keep the vessel here for some time if the plot had not been discovered.
