     WASHINGTON - At least 12 people were killed early in the invasion
of Grenada last week when an American Navy plane bombed a building
that turned out to be a civilian hospital for mental patients, the
Penatagon acknowledged. The officials said the building was not
marked as a hospital and was situated in a military complex from
which gunfire was being directed at American troops.
    
     WASHINGTON - Cuban forces suffered 100 casualties in the fighting
in Grenada, according to a senior Reagan administration official. He
said that Washington hoped to arrange their repatriation through the
International Committee of the Red Cross within a few days. But he
said that 650 other Cuban prisoners would not be returned to Cuba
until all fighting, including the occasional sniper fire, was over.
    
     WASHINGTON - Congressmen will visit Grenada this weekend under an
agreement reached by House leaders of both parties. They said the
fact-finding mission would investigate the reasons for the
American-led invasion of the island and how long American troops
might remain there.
    
     WASHINGTON - The resignation of a press aide was announced by the
White House. It said the deputy press secretary for foreign affairs,
Les Janka, quit after citing damage to his credibility as a result of
the administration's statements about Grenada.
