Concord, N. H., April 16, 1898.—To answer many communications, Mrs. Eddy, the Founder of Christian Science, has issued the following:—
"In order to close the multitudinous questions addressed to me on the subject of the war-cloud and the sober second thought of our chief magistrate, President McKinley, I will say, in my poor opinion it had been better that our friendly nation in the first instance had wiped her hands of Cuba altogether.
"As the situation now is, or seems to be, to acknowledge the independence of Cuba might severely serve to teach this weak, wicked neighbor self-government. In this case it would rid both Spain and the United States of an incubus, and reward our nation's generosity and magnanimity.
