Prison hostage crisis continues
Authorities on Sunday moved 150 inmates out of a federal prison where a group of Cubans who came to the United States in the 1980 Mariel boatlift took 10 people hostage on the eve of being deported.
An end to the ordeal that began Wednesday was nowhere in sight, Scott said. He and another prison representative declined to give details about negotiations with the hostage-takers.
Roger Scott, warden at Talladega Federal Correctional Institution, refused to say whether the inmates were taken from buildings adjacent to the 200-prisoner high-security unit controlled by the Cubans.
The besieged unit holds 121 Cubans and 18 non-
Cuban inmates in addition to the hostages.
Scott said the prison workers taken hostage were unharmed, on face-to-face meetings with six of them and reports on four others.
Belgrade, Yugoslavia 18 killed in Croatian violence
reports said several attacks by Croatia's forces and army-backed ethnic Serb militiamen opposed to secession, and Croatian officials have threatened even more attacks unless federal soldiers withdraw.
Army jets, tanks and sandbats battered Croatian positions Sunday in some of the harshest attacks yet in the breakaway republic. News reports said at least 18 people had died.
The heaviest fighting was in and around Vukovar in eastern Croatia, where Croat forces shot down a federal Air Force plane Saturday. The pilot ejected and was rescued, an army statement said.
On Sunday in Vukovar, a shell hit a car, killing three civilians and injuring 11, local radio said.

Cambodian forces to be reduced
In what could be a significant concession, Cambodia's Vietnamese-installed government agreed Sunday to partially demobilize its army during the period before U.N.-supervised elections.
Phnom Penh previously had insisted on keeping its entire army during the transition period. That stalled talks with the guerrillas on the adoption of a U.N. Security Council peace plan, which provides for complete demobilization of the four armies.
Phnom Penh's Prime Minister Hun Sen said Sunday he will propose the partial demobilization at peace talks with the guerrillas starting today.

Gorbachev, 60, told reporters he made the tape to expose the true story of his captivity if the coup succeeded. Hecut the tape into four parts, hoping to preserve at least part of it if discovered.
in the tape, Gorbachev appeared to be seething about the betrayal.
"The vice president, referring to the bad condition of the president's health and for this reason to the inability of the president to perform his duties, has taken over performance of the U.S.S.R. presidential duties himself. But I am in good health," said Gorbachev, shown from the chest up and wearing a dress shirt and cream-colored cardigan sweater

Gorbachev said former government officials came to the Crimea unannounced and demanded to see him at 5 p.m. last Sunday. Puzzled by their arrival, Gorbachev said he picked up his telephones and discovered communications had been cut. His television also didn't work.
He said the airplane that brought the family to the Crimea was recalled. He said he rejected the coup leaders "offer" that he transfer his powers to the committee and impose a state of emergency.

Gorbachev's chief representative, Vitaly Ignatenko, also said the first lady was sick. "But I cannot sait it is serious," he said.

Asked about reports that she had suffered a heart attack or nervous breakdown, Ignatenko said, "You could say everything."

Vladimir Lysenko, another reformer who flew with Silayev to the Crimea to escort the Gorbachev back to Moscow, said Raisa Gorbachev clearly was in a state of emotional shock.
"She came up to each of us, said 'Hello,' and thanked us for having saved her. It was a touching scene, and there was a feeling indeed that this woman had lived through terrible hours."
