DREYFUS INTERNATIONAL FUNDS, INC.

                                DISTRIBUTION PLAN

      Introduction: It has been proposed that the above-captioned investment
company (the "Fund") adopt a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Act"). The Plan would pertain to each series of the Fund, and each class of
shares of each series, set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such Exhibit may be
revised from time to time (each, a "Class"). Under the Plan, the Fund would pay
(a) for the costs and expenses of preparing, printing and distributing its
prospectuses and statement of additional information, and (b) the Fund's
distributor (the "Distributor") for distributing the shares of each class and
for advertising and marketing relating to each Class (the payments in this
clause (b) being referred to as, "Distribution Payments"). If this proposal is
to be implemented, the Act and said Rule 12b-1 require that a written plan
describing all material aspects of the proposed financing be adopted by the
Fund.
      The Fund's Board, in considering whether the Fund should implement a
written plan, has requested and evaluated such information as it deemed
necessary to an informed determination as to whether a written plan should be
implemented and has considered such pertinent factors as it deemed necessary to
form the basis for a decision to use assets attributable to each Class for such
purpose.
      In voting to approve the implementation of such a plan, the Board members
have concluded, in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment and in
light of their respective fiduciary duties, that there is a reasonable
likelihood that the plan set forth below will benefit the Fund and shareholders
of each Class.
      The Plan: The material aspects of this Plan are as follows:
1.    The Fund shall pay all costs of preparing and printing prospectuses and
      statements of additional information for regulatory purposes and for
      distribution to existing shareholders of each Class. The Fund also shall
      pay an amount of the costs and expenses in connection with (a) preparing,
      printing and distributing the Fund's prospectuses and statement of
      additional information used for other purposes and (b) implementing and
      operating this Plan, such aggregate amount may not exceed in any fiscal
      year of the Fund the greater of $100,000 or .005 of 1% of the average
      daily value of the net assets attributable to each Class for such fiscal
      year.
      2. (a) The aggregate annual fee the Fund may pay under this Plan for
      Distribution Payments is .50 of 1% of the value of the average daily net
      assets attributable to each Class for such year. (b)
      The Distributor may pay third parties in respect of distribution services.
      The Distributor shall determine the amounts to be paid to such persons
      under this Plan and the basis on which such payments will be made. Such
      payments are subject to compliance by such persons with the terms of any
      related Plan agreement between such person and the Distributor.
      3. For the purposes of determining the fees payable under this Plan, the
      value of the Fund's net assets attributable to each Class shall be
      computed in the manner specified in the Fund's charter documents as then
      in effect for the computation of the value of the Fund's net assets
      attributable to such Class.
      4. The Fund's Board shall be provided, at least quarterly, with a written
      report of all documents expended pursuant to this Plan. The report shall
      state the purpose for which the amounts were expended. 5. As to each
      Class, this Plan which initially became effective on August 24, 1994, will
      become effective as amended on the effective date of the Distribution
      Agreement between the Distributor and the Fund. 6. As to each Class, this
      Plan, as amended, shall continue for a period of one year from its
      effective date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms,
      and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual periods,
      provided such continuance is approved at least annually by a majority of
      the Board members, including a majority of the Board members who are not
      "interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of the Fund and have no
      direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or in
      any agreements entered into in connection with this Plan, pursuant to a
      vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purposes of voting on the
      approval of this Plan. 7. As to each Class, this Plan may be amended at
      any time by the Fund's Board, provided that (a) any amendment to increase
      materially the costs which such Class may bear pursuant to this Plan shall
      be effective only upon approval by a vote of the holders of a majority of
      the outstanding shares of such Class, and (b) any material amendments of
      the terms of this Plan shall become effective only upon approval as
      provided in paragraph 6 hereof.
      8. As to each Class, this Plan is terminable without penalty at any time
      by (a) vote of a majority of the Board members who are not "interested
      persons" (as defined in the Act) of the Fund and have no direct or
      indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan or in any
      agreements entered into in connection with this Plan or (b) vote of the
      holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Class.
