The MecDoNALp SUICIDE.
No Papers or Letters Found Bearing
Upon Unfortunate Affair,

Paris, March 26.-The body Of the
late Maj. Gen. Sir Hector Macdonald.
who committed suicide at the Hotel
Regina here, yesterday, was removed,
today, to the British mortuary chapel,
where it will await shipment to it's final
resting place in Scotland. The French
law requires that the bodies of suicides
be taken to the morgue, but owing to
the urgent desire of the British officials
That the body of the distinguished Of
heer be not deposited in the public
morgue, the usual legal requirement
was waived
1t was said at the British embassy
that no orders have been received from
London concerning the disposition Of
the body and it is expected that the
family of the deceased general will
make the final arrangements.
Both the officials of the British en-
bassy and the consulate general of
Great Britain disclaim any knowledge
of the existence of the letters which
were reported to have been found on
table in the room where the general
killed himself. Mr.. Inglis, the British
consul general said:
Il have been personally assured by the
commissary Of police that no such letters
have been found"
There is evidently desire on the part
OF the officials to shield the memory of
the general out of sympathy for his fam
lily. -
Efforts have been made, today. to trace
the letters and documents received by Ma
lor General Macdonald from the war Office
shortly before his suicide, as it was
thought they might throw light on the
motive for the act but the magistrate,
Who has taken charge of the dead man S
effects, says no letters or documents We're
found except some unintelligible scrib
bling which would indicate that the writer
was In a dazed condition. AS number
ivered to him, last Wednesday and Thurs
day, the authorities conclude that the gem
eral coolly prepared for his end by first
destroying the letters.
The Figaro asserts that one of the let
ters received by Sir Hector Macdonald
from the war Office, Wednesday morning,
was an ultirnatum ordering him TO leave
forthwith for Ceylon, thus destroying his
last hope of a reconsideration of his case
by the war authorities in England. Tho
fact, however, that the general took his
life soon after he was observed scanning
two newspapers published in English Civ
publishing portrait of him, is taken as
indicating that pain at the publicity rather
than any action by the British war office
determined his act
Gen. MacDonalds brother arrived here
today, and went to the British embassy
to arrange for the funeral. 1t is now
stated that one of the two notes found OH
the table in Sir Hector MacDonald'S room
expressed his desire to be buried in Paris.
London, March 26.-The funeral of Gen
Macdonald will be a private one, because

committed suicide. -
