He chose the latter. His greatest military achievement was lead- ing the black Soud e brigade in the Omdurman campaign against the Khalifa. The offlcial announcement made by the government of Ceylon on Monday that Major General Macdonald would be court-martialed and the publicity given to the affair were evidently the determining motives for the suicide. His friends at- tribute the unfortunate affair to his broken health and shattered nerves, the outcome of two campaigns in the SouGan and South Africa. An attack of dysen- tery and a totich of sunstroke at Paarde- burg during the South African campaign left serious effects, and a wound he re- ceived in the leg healed badly. It is sald that he often complained of pains in the head, and in Ceylon his health and the depression he was suffering grew worse, to such an extent that there was talk of invaliding him from the service. The newspapers comment sympathetic- ally on the pitiful end of a brave man, ana say that his countrymen will remem- ber him best as the man of whom on his return from Omdurman King Edward, then Prince of Wales, greeting him said: “In 1875 you were doing sentry duty in India, and now you are general in the British army.
