Official silence also greeted queries about reports of abortive sea and air strikes at the small Isle of Pines, off Cuba's southwest coast. Camp Linerlad just outside Havana, where a number of those arrested were reported being questioned was closed off to civil ians. By midnight even telephone calls went unanswered. One official source reported earlier that 200 or more men were arrested on suspicion of plotting against Castro's cight-monlh-old regime. Officials at the presiden tial palace had denied, however, that the number detained had reached 1,000. This was the pitcure given by the unconfirmed reports: An antigovernmenl plot was Kuala Lumpur, capital of Mal aya, means "Muddy Mouth. It is located where two rivers meet. nipped at an army camp near Ma nagua, about eight miles south of Havana.

Small armed bands from the Dominican Republic landed by sea and transport plane late Friday and early Saturday in a utile ef fort to free prisoners on the Isle of Pines. Castro forces broke up both attempts and captured a number of the raiders. Twenty-eight mechanics of the rebel air force are being held at Camagucy after the crash of a bomber that killed the pilot and injured two others, liebel troops there have been restricted to quarters. Two conspirators were killed and 15 others captured in a battle with rebel troops at Cienfuegos, about 130 miles east of Cuba. Although Raul Castro, Fidel's brother, and commander in chief of the armed forces, denied in vasion attempts had been made, reliable sources insisted that counterrevolutionaries made the i attempts on the Isle of Pines.
