CASTLE BURNED
4 KING CAROL'S COUNTRY RESIDENCE VALUABLE WORKS OF ART DESTROYED Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright, BUCHAREST, April 17. (Received April 18,- at 12.15. p.m.) King Carol’s country residence, Foischor Castle, at Sinaia, was destroyed by fire. None of the valuable contents was saved, King Carol losing his private papers and twenty works of art, including a Rembrandt, which alone was worth £20,000. King Carol was asleep in the palace at Bucharest when the news of the castle fire was received. He hurriedly dressed, drove fifty miles to Sinaia at break-neck speed, and superintended the work of the fire brigade, but the wooden palace, which was his birthplace, was gutted.
