Bandits Wreck Train

LAREDO, Tex. May 17.-Advices received here today state that Mexi- can bandits burned a bridge in the Mexican National railway, ditching a train and killing 15O of the pas sengers.
 The scene of the catastrophe was near Ayuzc. near Mexico City. The train was loaded to capacity, it be- ing estimated that there were fully a thousand passengers aboard Some time prior to the arrival of the train the bandits had fired small bridge, destroying it, and when the train came along at high speed, the engin- eer was unable to stop in time to pre- vent the whole train going over into the ravine. It is estimated that fully 150 of the passengers were killed. and this number will probably be found to have been increased when the wreck is cleared away, and the number of injured may run into the hundreds.
