Rebel Group Reported Landed in Cuba by Ship

Special to The New York Times

HAVANA, Feb. 8—A revolutionary expedition landed at Colorada Beach south of Niquero in Oriente Province two days ago, according to a report reaching Havana.

The army and air force attacked the group, but no information is available as to casualties.

It is said that only a few men were in the expedition, but the vessel carried arms and ammunition, and Fidel Castro rebel, leader, sent insurgents from the Sierra Maestra to receive the shipment.

Four armed youths forced the operations of a television station here tonight to broadcast a record asking the public to cooperate in a movement for “liberty or death.” Two of the youths entered the sound room and ordered that that the twenty-second record be played while the two others drew their revolvers and covered all those in the studio. All four escaped.
