FEARED DISGRACE.
General Sir Hector Mcdonald Com
mits Suicide in Paris.
COULD NOT FACE THE CHARGES
The Distinguished officer stood
High in the British Service.
Was to be Tried on Seri-
GUS Charges.
Gus Charges

On Wednesday dispatch from
Calambo, Ceylon, said charges of the
most serious nature have been brought
against Major General Sir Hector Mac
Donald, commanding the forces in
Ceylon. in consequence Of which the
governor Of that island, Sir Joseph
West Ridgeway, has been authorized
to convene a courtmartial to try
General Macdonald. The latter,
when the charges was filed sometime
ago, went to England from Ceylon to
confer with his friends and superior
officers and he started to return and
face the charges, which 1t is alleged,
are based on immoral acts.
But it seems be feared TO face the
charges, us he committed suicide at
the Hotel Regina on Wednesday in
Paris. lie shot himself in the right
temple shortly after nom and expired
a few minutes later. The general was
alone in his small chamber on the
mazzanine floor, Of the hotel at the
time OF the tragedy. One OF the
female attendants heard the pistol
shot and opening the door saw the
generals figure stretched out On the
floor with blood gushing from bullet
wound in the head. She ran scream
ing to the balcony overlooking the
lobby of the hotel, where many guests,
including number Of ladies, were as
sembled. The proprietor Of the hotel
was the first to reach the expiring
man.
The commissary of police was noti-
fed, and, accompanied by a doctor,
proceeded to a preliminary inveStiga-
tion. No money Or papers OF anv kind
were found in Sir Hector'S baggage,
Two notes written in English were
found lying on a table in his room ano
these were taken possession Of by the
authorities, but it is understood that
their contents have no bearing on the
suicide. In the generals coat, lying
on the bed, were found some photo
graphs. The British embassy and
consulate were notified later, and
Consul General Inglis visited the hotel
and took charge Of the body.
Sir Hector Macdonald arrived in
Paris last Friday evening from Lon
don on his way back to Ceylon. where
it was understood that an immediate
court martial would be held to clear
up the charges made against him. On
reaching the hotel at II o'clock at
night he was told that only a small
and Indifferent room was available.
He replied that that was quite sufh-
cient. He was not accompanied by
any aid de camp or valet. He said
he only intended to stay days or two
in Paris. Little was see2 Of him since
his arrival. He was, however, IN the
lobby this morning about noon and It
is believed that a newspaper, printed
in English, containing resume Of the
grave charges brought against him
and embellished with the generals
portion in full uniform, came under
his attention. He left the lobby, go
log to his room and the pistol shot
followed soon after. The generals
suicide has profoundly shocked the
British official here. Those about the
hotel who have converSed with Sir
Hector Macdonald recently say he
showed no signs of excitement or men
tai Worry.
