SAYS IT WAS PIRACY.
Ideas of Another Harvard Professor
on Our Conduct of tho War.

Boston, April 2e-Professor d. G.
Lyon, of the Semetic department of
Harvard university, in the course of a
lecture on the Jewish wars, this morn
ing. declared that the seizure OF ships
by the United States was nothing less
than piracy. Going on to consider the
present war, he said:
"We have seen an example of what
the war spirit will do. In congress
there was a war spirit. The men Of
peace were carried along by the others
When the battleship Maine was blown
up, people shuddereds Yesterday at the
hattie of NIatanZas 256 Of the men of
Spain may have been blown up. Who
shuddered? But does it call for any
shuddoring? The men who We're blown
up yesterday did their duty from
Spaiu's point of view. War is such
that it causes us tn revert our ideas
Of right and wrong. When the poor
fellow on the other side IS killed We
say; What brilliant shot" If one
of our men is killed he is immOrtaliz-
cd.
Let us Keep cool. Let us realize
what a horrible thing war is. 1t does
not seem to me that the last measures
of peace were tried. Our country may
call on us. II may he our duty TO go.
We ought not to rush in before we are
needed"
In closing Professor Lyon said that
the capture of merchant vessels was a
piece Of piracy.

LETTER TO SAGASTA SEIZED.
Said to Have Contained Treason
abIe Information.

Washington, D. c., April 29-The
most important military seizure effect
ed by the Postoffice department since
the declaration OF war between this
country and Spain was made yester-
day afternoon when a letter addressed
to ''Senor Sagasta. Madrid. Spain" was
taken from the mail, by order of the
postmaster general. The letter was
written and signed by woman. 1t
came from Santa Cruz, Cal. at which
place 1t was posted little ovep a week
ago,
Upon being opened the letter was
found to be Of a most reasonable and
startling character 1t gave detailed
account of the condition of our western
coast defence, where our guns and NOR
tar batteries and harbor mines are
located, where It would he dangerous
to land. and how these dangers could
be avoided.
The writer went on 20 say that Spain
had many sympathizers in this coun-
try particularly in California, who
wished for her success in the war, and
that they would do everything in their
power to help Spain.
The writer advised Senor Sagasta not
to permit an attack on San Francisco.
but to select Monterey, which was poor
ly guarded and where large force
could easily get ashore. At this place
the writer said there we're no batteries
or fortifiCations worthy of the name.
In closing her remarkable commune
cation the woman informed Premier
Sagasta that, if the Spanish govern
| ment would follow her suggestions and
order an attack upon the United States
on the Pacific coast at Monterrey
Spain would find plenty of aid from hei
| sympathizers in California, who would
lend her material aid.
The postmaster general, on learning
the contents of the letter. sent for one
| of his best inspectors and turned the
| documents over to him. Later in the
| day General G. d. Meiklejohn, the as
| sistant secretary of war, was sum.

1t is understood that the woman whC

be arrested, and other arrests in Cali

BIG BALLOON FOR THE ARMY.
Indiana Man to Recoun otter the En-
emy's Works from the Clouds.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 29.-JOhn +.
Baldwin, an aeronaut, whose home is
at Dalton. has nearly completed bal
loon for service in the war. Henry I.
Johnson. member of congress, has OBJ
tanned for Baldwin position as eX
pert hallOonist for the government, and
General A. ". Greely, chief of the sig
nal service has invited Baldwin to join
the signal corps and he will report for
duty
The airship which Baldwin has about
completed will be capable of standing
great pressure of gas. and will COnse-
0uently have great lifting power. The
inflated bag has a frame composed Of
aluminium tubing, which gives It grelt
strength and rigidity. The gas rescr-
voir is sixty feet long and twenty-siH
feet in diameter. Hydrogen gas only
will be used. on the frame of the res
erVoir. one on each side and running
longitudinally with it. are two shafts
of aluminium. On each part Of these
shofts are three propellers of alumni
ium. They fold when not in use and open
out when revolved against the air.
These propelers are each eight feetlonC
and six feet broad and have forty-eight
feet of surface each. the six having a
total of 2SS square fet of surface.
Baldwin's plans, which were submit
ted TO the war department. have been
approved. These plans are secret, but
they involve the surveillance Of the
enemys movements from balloon an
chored in tee air out of reach Of his
guns.

Treason at Harvard.

The reasonable uttcranCes recently
made by certain members of the faculty
of Harvard university do not surprise
US. For years the faculty of this insti-
tuition has been fertile breeding place
Of Mugwumpery and unAmericanism,
representing, quite pitiably, the i'll ef-
feCts Of over educated brains in under
uourished bodies.
In time of peace these ebullitions OF
physical and mental dyspepsia have
been suffered to pass by with scant
notice save in the way of pleasantly
or satire. But in time of war. when
every word of attack from an American
source upon the American programme
resolves itself, whether so intended or
not, into aid for the national enemy,
it is worthy of seriouS consideration
whether the thin-blooded traitors at
Cambridge ought not 70 be put under
legal restraint and made to feel the vir-
ility of institutions which they despise
and assail.
If they were ignorant babblers slop-
ping over from the sheer eXuberance of
their own folly. their words might well
lie subjected To silent contempt. But
by reason Of their position as alleged
leaders in the nations higher civiliza-
tion, their reasonable speech becomes
dangerous, not so much at home as
abroad. At a time when many of the
nations Of Europe are itching to find an
excuse to sprag American enterprise
and progress and when the most diff
cult and delicate resources of iiplo-
macy have been employed by our gov
eminent TO keep these jealous powers
neutral, the spectacle of the professors
Of Harvard university--the Oldest and
hest-known higher institution of learn
ing on this hemisphere-publicly con.
demning the course our authorities are
pursuing and urging their pupils to OBJ
struct it is one to warrant drastic
measures ot repression.
We are proud to notice that among
the thousands Of colleges and universi-
ties now dotting this republic, Harvard
in this respect stands solitary anC
alone.

Tomorrow Mornings Tribune.

Tomorrow morning regular SubsCrib-
CrS of The Tribune will be served.
wherever possible, with complimentary
copies Of our Sunday morning extra
edition containing in concise form the
important telegraphic news of Satur-
day This being a voluntary service
made without charge. we do not guar
antcc delivery in every instance. but it
is our wish to reach every regular pa
trou within the area of possible Sunday
distribution. and when one is missed
We shall be thankful to have the fact
called to our attention.
As we have heretofore explained, we
do not purpose entering the field of per
mancnt Sunday journalism. These sun
day morning extras are issued solely
in response to the extraordinary news
demands of a time of war. when every
Cftizen is eager for news every minute
in the day. We print nothing in them
hut the news and comment or literary
matter bearing on the national crisis
no trash no sluSh, no irresponsible gOs-
sip or back-doOr scandal A limited
amount of advertising is accepted to
cover expenses and the right is re-
served to make charge for these
extras when deemed advisable among
persons who are not regular subscrib-
ers to the Daily Tribune.
The Tribune at all times is well worth
its subscription price. BY common con-
sent it stands unequalled among the
newspapers of Northeastern Pennsyl-
vana. But we submit that this free
serving to regular patrons on Sunday
morning of a complete but unpolluted
report of the news of the previous
twenty-four hours constitutes an es-
pecial bargain of which readers of
other newspapers in this vicinity would
do well to avail themselves at once.

GoMEZ's WIFE AN AMERICAN,
Claimed She Was Born in a County
in East Tennessee.

From the Washir gton Post
1t may not be known generally that
the wife of MaXimo Gomez. COM
mander-in-Chief of the insurgent forces
in Cuba. is an American woman, but
such appears to he the fact. Represen-
tative Gibson claims to represent the
district in Tennessee where she was
born. Her former name was Miss Pink
Martin. daughter of Mr.. Henry Mar
tin, who lived on Nails creek, in a
county of East Tennessee.
The family was one of the best in the
county, and her father was very
wealthy, so that Miss Martin was given
exceptional opportunities during her
childhood and early womanhood. She
first married a Georgian. but he died
shortly after the civil war, and as Mrs.
Cline, his widow, she went TO Havana
where her brothers We're engaged in
business While at the Cuban capital
she met Maxine Gomez, then a very
important parsonage in the Island of
Cuba, and in a short time they were
married.

The Ambulance Fund Closed .

on last Tuesday morning. when The
Tribune learned that an effort was be-
ing made by another military Organ2a-
tiOn to secure the ambulance at Harris
burg desired by the Thirteenth regi-
mont it wired to lieutenant Richard
son of the state arsenal to purchase
the vehicle at once for the Thirteenth
and draw on us for the price This he
did and later word came that the
ambulance, properly lottered with the
Thirteenth's name. would be delivered
at Mt. Gretna Saturday night. The
ambulance delivered. cost $40 and for
this sum we will today send a check
10 the Anthracite Wagon company of
Harrisburg
There remained to provide by addi-
tional subscription for a team of horses
and the necessary harness 1t was
thought originally that $500 would COW
er all these items, the estimated price
quoted on the ambulance being 5000.
But competitive bidding later raised
this price and since to await
the construction of another ambulance
would involve a considerable delay.
during which time the boys in camp
would be deprived Of ambulance facil.
tiles either in case Of sickness or for
the transportation of supplies, it was
deemed best to pay the extra $40 The
ambulance, therefore, will reach camp
tonight, and into Colonel Coursen's
hands will be placed the remainder of
The Tribune fund, which with yester-
days contributions amounts to S5l97l.
If more than this shall be needed by
the regiment to complete the equip
mont Colonel COursen will he assured
that the citizens of Scranton will fur
nish it upon his request.
We take this occasion on behalf OF
the regiment to thank the donors Of
this timely fund. 1t is a most Thought
tul monument TO their patriotism and
public spirit.

1--WE cannot and will not stop to cal

noble ship that lies stranded, broken
and dismantlcd in the most infamous
harbor of all the seas. We win not

America, laying down, as l fondly be-
lieNe and hope, every trace of parti-
san controversy and dissension, in the
fear of God, counting all the cost, will
exact from Spain indemnity i'm full for
all the abuses of the past; not the
