Dreyfuss Reported Dead.

Paris, April 6.—A rumor was current here Tuesday that Alfred Dreyfus, the former captain of artillery who was sentenced to imprisonment for life for betraying important military secrets to a foreign power, is dead. He was undergoing imprisonment on Devil’s island, off the coast of French Guiana. The colonial office, however, has no information on the subject.
