      1.  In  late April  1968 there  was a successful  prison
break  at the  El Principe  Prison  in Havana.  A  group of
prisoners  escaped  by digging  a tunnel  to the  courtyard  of
a  neighboring  hospital.   After the  escape, ex-Major
Rolando  Cubela \,ecades,  who was convicted  in  March 1966
for  plotting  to \ssassinate  Fidel  Castro,  was transferred
from  El Principe  to a prison  in Oriente  Province.

      2.  It was  rumored  that Huber  Matos, imprisoned  since
October  1959,  was one of  the.escapees.   However,  according
to  the wife of  a prisoner  in La Cabana  Prison  in Havana,
Matos  and 20 other  political  prisoners  were still  in Gal-
lery  23 of that  prison.  Although  none  of them  wore prison
uniforms,  it  is said that  the authorities  stopped  being
severe  with them  on this count.


3.  Field  Dissem-   None.
