ResUlt of Government
Threats of Punishment.
A despatch from Dublin sayso-
Senator Bagwell], kidnapped Tuesdny

morning near Dublin. His release is
regarded as the .direct •result of' the
threats of punitive 'measures made by
the Government if he. were not re-
leased In 48 hours.• .
Republican Chief of Staff Liam
Lynch has issued a proclamation de -
daring% "We shall not release our
hostages. If the threatened action is
taken, every member of the -Govern-
ment, Senate and the Lower House
and their executi-ve will be
and...we -will etrtertahily vinit

Whether this is intended to offsist
the Bagwell release, or to intimate
that Bagwell escaped is not kndwo.
Bagwell was picked up by a motorist
eight miles from Dublin.
He reached tlie city early in the
morning arid is not to be found, so
there is no infoomatlen obtainable
from him as to how he came to be
free. •
Many other hostages are ein. heidi
by the Irregulars. Lynch's proclama-
tion says the Republicans are deter -

bas a pOpu/atiou of tour million, of which a half. Million are coal miners. In
pre-war years its opal production was 113,000,000 tens .ft year. It has a visible
