DEAD LOCK ON IN
 CENTRAL AMERICA
MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES STRIVE TO BRING ABOUT AN UNDERSTANDING TO PREVENT RESUMPTION OF POSSIBILITIES.

Washington. April 23,-The Central American controversy Is no nearer settle- ment today than it was yesterday. ac- cording to a dispatch received today at the state department from Philip Brown. the American charge at Guatemala, ca bling from La Union. Salvador. Mir Brown says the various questions in- volved continue to be discussed but that the deadlock is still on He holds out no hope of an early agreement.
 Both the United States and Mexico are striving to bring about some understand Ing between the belligerents whereby the resumption of hostilities will be averted. Long conferences were held at the state department today between Assistant Sec retary Bacon, Ambassador Creel of Mex leo, Ministers Metia of Salvador, and Cal vo of Costa Rica as q result of which, it was announced, that important devel- opments might be expecte1 within the next twenty-four hours.
 In the present apparently hopeless state of affairs if has been determined that the only way out of the difficulty is by ar filtration of all the questions in dispute and therefore Nicara qua, Honduras and Salvador today have been urged to agree to a proposition of that nature. Should 1t be accepted, there is no question, 1t was stated from authoritative sources. that President Roosevelt will ask to sit in Judgment on the case.

BROKER CONNECTED
 WITH TRUST THEFT
CHARGED THAT BENNETT RE CElVED PART OF S14o,ooo BONDS FROM DOUGLASS, ASSISTANT LOAN CLERK OF COMPANY.

New York, April 23-Another step in tended to explain the disappearance of bonds valued at about $140OO0 from the Trust Company of America was taken by the police tonight. when they formally placed in custody A. NJ Dennett. a broker of 42 Wall street, who was formerly prominent in Boston financial circles. William o. Douglas, an assistant loan clerk for the trust company, is already under arrest charged with the theft of the bonds and the warrant upon which Dennett was detained by detectives al- leges the receiving of stolen goods.
 It is charged that Dennett received sixty-one bonds of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, each valued at 5000 and of the issue of May i. 1903. It is complained also that Dennett knew that the bonds were stolen when he accepted them.
 I ne arrest of the broker was forecasted yesterday because of charges preferred to the police by officers of the trust company, after their investigation of the larceny, and by the alleged recovery of $20,000 worth of the missing securities in Dennett's room at the Manhattan club yesterday. After being examined at the detective bureau Dennett was placed in cell for the night.

DISASTROUS FIRE
 IN TOULON, FRANCE
W7xTH TIME IN A FEW MONTHS THE PORT IS STRiCkEN-ARSE NAL FULL OF MATERlAL-FlRE OF SUSPICIOUS ORIGIN.

Toulon France. April 23.-For the sixth time within few months this port has aeen stricken by disaster from fire, but fortunately this time the damage is par ticularly tu material.
 Shortly after midnight last night sen try at the arsenal noticed the glare of flames in q storehouse used for rope yarn he at once gave the alarm and soldiers, members of the crews of warships in port, and employees of the arsenal were turned out to fight the flames. The fire spreal with incredible rapidity. The buildings in the vicinity of the store house contained 200, 900 pounds of material to clean machinery, 60,000 pounds of mak- um, 50O00 sponges, enormous quantities of baskets, hampers and other infiam- mables
 The flames were soon soaring over the arsenal wall and licking the sides of some thirty dwelling houses just outside, Inhabited by five or six hundred people. The residents fled half clad to the street.
 Every available man was engaged in efforts to control the flames and the task was conducted at great personal risk all day long. It was late this afternoon be- fore the fire was under control. It is reported more than thirty men have sus- taned injury from falling walls and some of them are not expected to recover.
 The cause of the fire has not yet been ascribed. The finding of two pieces of fuses of the kind used in the French navy has aroused suspicion that it was not altogether accidental.
 A rigorous investigation is being con- ducted Minister of Labor Viviani ar rived here from Nice this evening and visited the ruins in company with the maritime prefect.
