BUDAPEST, Sunday. The Cologne-Budapest express was wrecked last night ten miles from Budapest, killing 25 persons. A viaduct collapsed after the eng'ine and two coaches had passed over safely, but the remaining coaches crashed into a ravine 100 feet deep, forcing the rescuers to descend by ropes. Communists are believed to be responsible as a fuse was found near the scene, also a message saying: "If a capitalist Government does not give us work, we shall set to work ourselves."
