Trio Who Sailed in Search of Gold. ARREST IN FORMOSA. (Received 10 a.m.) SHANGHAI, May 2. Advice received here states that the Fonnosan police have arrested two Americans and one German, named Gates, Wrede and Roubin respectively, on charges of violating the Shipping Act and of entering a fortified zone without authority.

The Fonnosan authorities, however, claim that the Americans are really naval,officers, and that they were caught photographing a fortified zone..
