ATTACK ON M'KENNA Home Secretary Criticised for Releasing One of Kcw Garden Vandals. FOB LIFE IMPRISONMENT Public Prosecutor Snys Firing of Buildings Win-rants . That Sentence. Sptctal Cable Deipalch to Tin Si n. 1.OND0N. Feb. 27. After snemllne twenty-four hours In Hollowuy Jail Mrs. Pankhurst repented of her threat to ko on a hunger strike. She gave an undertaking to-day to behave herself until her case comes up for trial at the assizes on the charge of being Impli cated in the explosion of a bomb in the house which was being constructed for David Lloyd George. Chancellor of the Kxchequer, at Walton Hpath. She was thereupon released on $3,500 ball. When Airs. i'ankhurst was arraigned In th Epsom court she refused to make any such promise and threatened to go on a hunger strike In the same prison In which her daughter Sylvia Is a prisoner. She was therefore condemned to remain there until the meeting of tho Assize Court. When the leader of the militants found that the Guildford sizes would not be held until June or July, Instead of May. us at first an nounced, her resolution weakened and he made tho required promises, par ticularly as she was assured that If she gave the necessary undertaking the Government wan willing to transfer her trial to tho Old Halley and have her case brought up in April. She there fore signed a promise that she would "not directly or indirectly Incite any breach of the criminal law until the trial on April 1." Mr. Marshall, the lawyer for Mrs. Tankhurst, was then summoned to the prison and with her sureties, who had been previously approved by the Epsom magistrates, she was taken there In nn automobile and released on ball. After ward Mrs. Pnnkhurst was taken to her fiat at Knlghtsbrldge. Inquirers at the fiat to-night were told that Mrs. I'ankhurst was reiting, but was not well enough to see any one. Miss Annie Kenney received the numer ous sympathetic visitors who called, but none of them saw the leader herself. According to Mr. Marshall, Mrs. I'ank hurst was tired almost to the point of exhaustion, partly owing to her own lack of food and partly because of her great anxiety over her daughter Sylvia, who is being pump fed at Hollow-ay prison. Mrs. I'ankhurst's sureties put up $1,250 each and she herself put up H.500. Strong resentment Is expressed In many newspapers nnd by people who nro opposed to the suffragettes nt the action of Home Secretary McKcnna In summarily releasing Lillian I.enton. who was accused of setting lire to the refreshment pavilion In the Kew Car rions, especially nfter Travers Hum phrey, the public prosecutor, had nsked the police court Magistrate to commit her for trial. Humphrey nlso mude a strong statement In which he snld milltnnt suffrngettes who were guilty of tiring buildings In public parks were liable to penal servitude for life. The Magistrates had ordered the woman re manded, but the Home Secretnry, with out consulting them, ordered her re leased because she was said to be 111 as the result of a hunger strike. The Mayor of Klchmond and his fel low Magistrate, Sir James Slumper, roundly accuse the Home Secretary of having acted Illegally and nutocratlcally. Instead of taking the methods pre scribed by the Constitution for her re lease. They say he has given nn ex hibition of weakness and Indiscretion which shows that he is not fit for the office which ho holds.

The auto lind'lt.s who were condemned to death early this morning were transferred from the Conciergcrle to the Smite prison, where the executions will take place-. DIeudonne, Callemmln, Soudy nnd Monler, the four who were 'sentenced to the guillotine, were placed In chains and hoisted Into 11 van which was escorted by n squad of mounted police. The Joyous mob which was taking part Jn the Ml-Cnreme carnival pelted the van with confetti. The Incident was typically I'arlslnn. L'pon their liberation two of the women, Mme. Maltrejean and Mile. Lclerche. hurried to their homes. There they received their friends. Mme. Maltrejean extolled the virtues of her lover, Kll batchiche. She declared he was a lover of humanity, but was misunderstood. Mile. Leclerche, alias Dubois, who was the mistress of Metge, who got a prison sentence oceans- of extenuating cir cumstances, has assurances of a liveli hood. She is also pleased over the fact that she learned to read and write dur ing the thirteen month-, she was In prison. The general opinion Is that the acquittal of the three women was a grievous miscarriage of Justice. Kdouard Carouy, one of the bandits who wos condemned to penal servitude for life, committed suicide ns soon as he was returned to hi ceil. The story Is tliat some one furnished him with cyanide of potassium which he swal lowed as soon as he was locked In his cell. He was dead before the prison physicians could reach him.

Sin Havana, Feb. 27.--Presiien Gomez re- celved ex-President Castro of Venez uela to-day. The latter went to the palace with letters of Introduction nnd hnd a lengthy Interview with the f'uban Chief Executive. It is clear, however, that Gomez regards Castro us a Joke. Castro Is making himself very affable here. He is devoting much of his time to currying popular favor. He visited nil the newspaper offices to-day and tried to natter the editors, Castro probably told the truth when he said he was going to Washington on Saturday to attend the inauguration of President Wilson, after which he ex pects to return and visit the eastern end of Cubn. He may Intend to sail from there for Venezuela. While Castro was visiting the office of the newspaper I. a Piscuslon to-day n negro Congressman named Illsquet recited a poem. "The Condor of the Andes." It Is quite certain that there Is no collusion between Castro and ex-President Reyes of Colombia, because the latter has no esteem for the Venezuelan, Kx-Presldent Kelayn of Nicaragua has not ct arrived nnd the date when he will reach here Is not definitely' known. It is probable that Castro Is going to Washington for the Inauguration In order to feel the pulse of the new Ad ministration with a view of determin ing his future course. With the ex ception of the newspapers, n few In- significant Congressmen and the Mayor of Havana it Is only the rabble that Is offering homage to Castro. PARIS HOLDS GAY FESTIVAL.

Itumani.i had j previously said she would submit every thing to arbitration except the question I of the acquisition of Sillstria. If Kumanla refuses to accede lo this lequest the representatives of the Pow ers probably will tell Bulgaria that she had better put herself on the same foot ing us llumanla. reserving the right to veto the decision of the Powers, it Is generally understood that Bulgaria prefers that the Powers shall decide the question so tliul If tho decision Is unacceptable to the Bulgarian people the Government of that country will be able to place the onus on Kurope.

Beaupre, the American Minister, nnd Mr. Gibson, the sccrotnry of the legation. Soto vainly besought Gen.

Mcnocal told Soto that he had deliberately slundcred the diplomats and had greatly em barrassed the country and must there fore take the consequences. President Gomez seems to be very willing to punish all those guilty of attacks on the members of the American Legation. The House will take up the request of the court Immeillntf-iy and will refer It to u, committee which has been pledged lo make a prompt report In Its favor, whereupon the request will be grunted for the first time In the history of Cuba, as Congressmen because of tlieir position have hitherto been Im mune from prosecution.
