He said that U.S. forces were holding a total of about 800 Cubans prisoner after three days on the island — about 200 construction workers and 600 and that the groups were being held separately.
Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said invading troops had discovered that the jet airport built by the Cubans was meant for military use, as President Reagan has maintained. He also said ammunitions storage rooms there and rifle racks that had been installed in toilets.
GRENADIANS HAVE maintained that the jet airport is meant to stimulate tourism in Grenada, whose only other airport cannot handle jets or night flights.
Barbados government sources said Gen. Hudson Auxin, leader of Grenada's Revolutionary Alliance, criticized the U.S. for
undetermined number of hostages on the mountain which overlooked the capital of St. Lucia.
The sources said Austin, who took power on the Caribbean island last week in a bloody coup that left 17 people dead, was demanding sate passage of legislation which had a pro-Cuban, socialist government.
THERE WAS NO immediate word on casualties among the combatants or among the 100
Members of the invasion force had proceeded slowly against Richmond Hill — fearing the holdouts would kill the prisoners detained there for more than two years by Marxist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop, who was slain last week in a coup.
The Pentagon raised its casualty figures in the third day of the invasion, saying eight American soldiers were killed, eight were missing and 30 were wounded. U.S. military operation since the Vietnam War.
The invasion, aimed at quashing Grenada's militant Marxist government, began Tuesday with an air, sea and land assault by U.S. Marines who were compelled by companies from six Caribbean nations.
During the day, a Navy A 6 fighter-bomber, four black Hawk helicopter gunships and a dozen C141 and C130 transport planes shuttled to the island of Tahiti where they met 9 miles east, indicating fighting was continuing.
AN OFFICIAL ON Barbados said "little
of resistance could go on for weeks,
on the island."
A group of American students evacuated from Grenada yesterday night said that frightened Grenadian militiamen kicked down their door and held them prisoner for several hours after the U.S. invasion, and that "the Cubans were definitely out to get us."
The 36 people brought out on the seventh evacuation flight from Grenada said that they were going to the airport.

Marines, they said, formed human shields around them to get them to the evacuation plane.
The flight brought to 409 the number evacuated, most of them students at St. George's University medical school. All but one of those patients returned home after being kissed and several kicked the ground upon arriving.
Rasch said he decided to leave the island for France, he would be taken hostage by fleeing Germans.
STEWART RASCH, 25, of the Bronx, N.Y., said, "The people in Grenada were very much in support of the action, but I was not. We are in constant combat, overstepping our authorities as powers of peace."
Bill Riffle said he and five friends lived in a house on a hill between the school's two campuses and Tuesday morning "We woke up at the middle of World War III. It was scary."
That afternoon, he said, "Our door was kicked in by the People's Revolutionary Army. There were about 30 Grenadians with AK-47s. They told us they were there to protect us."
John Doyle, 25, Lyndenhurst, N.Y., tried to talk the Grenadians into releasing students. "I asked them if we could leave. I said my roommates were upstairs and they didn't want to die. They were medical students and they wanted to save lives."
BUT HE SAID the soldiers kept them in the house for about three hours while they peered out windows and raided the refrigerator, and finally told them they could leave."
Riffley the group flied to a friend's house at the bottom of the hill where they spent a terrifying night. "The bombing was outrageous," he said. "They had A-7s, out there, F-14a.
