Rebels say offensive a success
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador -- Guerrillas expanded a new offensive yesterday to four provinces and said that a devastating artillery and infantry blitz of the nation's third largest city was "100 percent successful."
Telephone communications were cut to El Salvador's four easternmost provinces amid reports that guerrillas bombed the Pacayal microwave communications station, nine miles west of San Miguel, a city of 100,000 people.
Local officials of Antel, the government telephone company, said that in the cities of San Vicente and Cojutepeque rebels had blown up the station, which had been attacked once before in a rebel offensive in May.
Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Richard Stone ended a Latin American tour saying a dialogue with rebels was closer. "but we are not out of the hands."

Mexico is the last of the four member nations of the Contadora peace group that Stone visited after meeting with the rebels. The other three Contadora nations are Panama, Colombia and Venezuela.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger begins a three-day whirlwind tour of three Central American countries today.
"It is counterproductive to be taking the temperature every five minutes of this delicate dialogue." Stone said at a news conference before his urging. He declined to say if he planned to meet with leftist guerrillas again.
