ANARCHY IN HUNGARY.
SOME DREADFUL HAPPENINGS.
Received May 28, 10 p.m
HAGUE, May 26
Vienna messages show that Hungarian anarchy is increasing. There is considerable fighting in the pro"vinces, and massacres of peasants are reported because they refused to sell food to Bolshevised towns.
A party of Red Guards raided a village. The peasants refuged in the local castle. The Bolsheviks brought up artillery, whereupon the 'besieged surrendered. Their leaders were murdered and crucified on the church doors.
A queue of women in Bud a Pesth, after vainly waiting at a butcher's shop, tore three Red Guards to pieces. The murdered hostages include three ex-Ministers and two exState secretaries.
