      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.
