London, March 12.-The st. James

Chronicle proves that there have been GER
tain loose, careless and misleading trans
lations introduced into the Venezuelan
blue book, and gives ss an instance, the
dispatch sent home to the Centurion In
April, 1770, which in effect shows that the
Dutch did not hold anything on the
Cuyuni except the settlement at the mouth

FIRE AT BOSTON.
Pope's Mfg. Cos. Plant Damaged
to the Extent of Sl25,000.
Employees Escaped With Dfficulty-Youth's S
Companion Building in Danger.

Boston, March 12.-The handsome
building numbered 2l9 22l, and 223
Columbus avenue, occupied by the Pope
Manufacturing Co.. bicycle manufacturers,
was badly damaged by fire, this afternoon.
The building is six stories high, built of
brick with terra Gotta trimmings. The
entire inside of the building is almost
completely burned. 1t is estimated that
the loss will be about 1926, ,000
The fire started In the basement. prob
ably in wood pile back of the boiler. 1t
spread like lightning. The automatic
alarm gave the first warning, which was
soon followed by four alarms. Then a
general alarm called every piece of appara-
tus in the city. The Youths Companion
building Is next north of the Pope build
ing and this was in considerable danger
but did not catch fire. The Pope building
is supposed to be fire proof. The walls
stood the heat we'll, and can probably be
used in rebuilding, except on the southerly
side of the upper story, where they are
cracked. At one time the flames leaped
across Columbus avenue and threatened
Hotel Rowland. The guests there and In
the Hoffman house adjoining, packed their
possessions ready to move. This proved
unnecessary.
When the fire broke out, there were
some 80 employees in the Pope building
Several had difficulty in getting out.
The loss is said to be fully covered by in.
surance. On the lower three floors were
some 1900 bicycles, and the fourth floor
contained about 5000 tires. All these, 175
second hand wheels used in the riding
academy on the fifth floor, and about 90
900 pieces of machinery, were destroyed.
There were six pupils, nine instructors
and two other employees in the riding
academy. but they escaped by means of
elevators. The jsnitor and Col. Pope's
private secretary came from the second
floor by ladder, their escape by the stair
ways bieng cut off.
Later estimates indicate that the total
loss by the fire will be nearly $3.50, 900.
The 100 bicycles destroyed were of the
latest patent. On the ground floor We're
many wheels and devices illustrating the
history Of the bicycle industry, all of which
were burned. In Col. Pope's rooms Oh
the second floor were many valuable paint
ings The damage To the building is
greater than was first supposed The in
terruption to the spring business OF the
company will be serious The company
have engaged temporary quarters at 200
