PARIS BREATH EXCITED
Dreyfus Letter Abandoning
Hope Lends Color To Rumor.
Parle, Nov. 14.—1 tis reported
here thio evening that Dreyfus ia
■ dead.
The rumor is understood to be
.based upon a mysterious telegram
received from Colmar, capital of
Upper Alsace, signed by an un
known correspondent.
So far as can be ascertained
there is no confirmation of the re
port . The father-in-law of Droyfue
says he lias received excellent re
ports from the colonial offiee quite
recently as to the prisoner’s
health.
Despite these assurances there
are dark rumors afloat. In view of
the curious manner in which the
letter from Dreyfus declaring that
he had abandoned all hops, was
conveyed to Mme. Dreyfus Friday
many people believe he is dead.
A dispatch on Friday said that
Mine Dreyfus had applied that
day at the (ffioe of the minister of
the colonies tor p'-rmiesion to
*e;;d her husband some warm
c'ntl.i 4 'or his return home The
r*qu s' wi« reiascd on lhe ground
that the government would d>
wha'ever was necessary.
Al th-* same time, according to
the dispatch, 'he authorities read
a letter from her husband to the
efl'dct that having for five months
addressed appeal* for revis on to
Gen. De Boisdaffre (recently chief
of staff of the French army) witb
oat getting any reply and being
weary and exhsusted by his useless
appeals be would write no more to
his family or to anybody.
He described himself as ill and
dying and bequeathed to the “gen
erosity of my country the case es
rehabilitating my memory.”
It appears that Mme. Dreyfue
then requested permission to tele
graph her husband the decision of
the court of cassation. This re
quest was also refused. Thea,
through a friend, she appealed to
President Faure. but with no bet
ter result. The dispatch said her
coansel would bring the whole mat
ter before the court of cassation.

The boundaries of the field in
which that question is being
worked out are being more ap
parent and lhe angle of final set
tlement cannot be far off. If a
treaty is to result here, it may
fairly be expected within three
weeks, although it is not true —
as reported from the I nited
States today —that the Ameri
cans have instractions embody
