GENERAL MAC DONALD
DRILLING CHINESE TROOPS
Famous Fighter, Thought Suicide, Re-
ported 10 BE in Employ of
Chinese Government.

San FRANCISCO, March e.-Accordins
to a report brought in by the Oriental
liner Asia, which arrived yesterday, Cen
eraI Sir Hector Macdonald, formerly OF
the British Admiralty, who was supposed
TO have committed suicide in Paris in a
lodging house in 1903, is engaged in drill
ing troops Of the Chinese army.
Officers OF the Asia learned the story,
they said, from officers of the British
cruiser Kent, now tat Honolulu. who got
word Of MacDonald's whereabouts while on
the oriental station recently.
General Macdonald was famous soldier
who had seen service under the British
flag in many lands.
At the height of his career he was
recalled from India to answer a grave
charge. He got as far as Paris and then
the world was startled with a report that
he had committed suicide. The charges,
however, were investigated and the board
a few months ago decided that they had
not been substantiated and that a brave
man had been a victim of scandal.
At various times General Macdonald had
been reported seen in Australia, Thibet
and Siberia. These reports, however, were
never verified.

Sheehan to Stay

Accuses Governor Dix of 0bstructing

Support.

NEW YORK, March 6-After consulta-
ton with his Tammany supporters, Will
liam F. Sheehan issued a statement today
in which he accuses Governor Dix OF "ob-
structing the election of the regularly
chosen candidate Of the party for United
States SENATOR and says he will not with
draw as the democratic caucus nominee.
Charles +. Murphy the Tammany leader,
said Mr.. SheehAn's statement spoke for it.
self He would not add to it.
The general belief of Tammany leaders
Is that Sheehan will hold seventy eight
votes when the fun effect of Governor
Dix's letter has made Itself felt. The
governors attitude. toward Sheehan has
been a secret to Tammany for some time
and there is no expectation that 1t would
produce any immediate result.
Friends of Martin w. Littleton pointed
today to the real significance Of Mr.. Lit
tleton's recent self-announced candidacy
They say Mr.. Littleton realized fully that,
as matters now stand, no United States
senator to represent New York can be
elected without The support of Murphy
and Tammany hall, and that, therefore, in
his open letter, having antagonized Mr..
Murphy, he does not, expect his support
and consequently does not expect to be
elected senator What he does expect.
they say, is in the event OF a revolt against
Murphy's leadership he may be able to
say he contributed to 1t.
