(AP) A federal grand jury yesterday indicted Nancy Reagan's personal maid and three men on charges they conspired to illegally export ammunition without a license from Richmond to Paraguay. Anita Sanabria Castelo, 45, of Takoma Park, Md.Lwas charged with conspiracy to export ammunition without a license and pvnnrtincr ammiiniHrin without a Castelo, a Paraguayan native who frequently traveled with the first lady on foreign trips, was charged earlier this month by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms with aiding and abetting the export of munitions without an export license. That charge was issued in a complaint and the additional charges were handed down by. a grand jury that met in Norfolk.

No arraignment was scheduled, said Gregory Welsh, assistant U.S. attorney in Richmond. The White House put Castelo on administrative leave Aug. 7 after learning that she had been charged in the complaint Michael Morchower, Castelo's Richmond attorney, said he was not surprised by the, additional charges against his client, who he said was on vacation at an undisclosed location. cy and the death toll in the battle with police was the highest since 19 people were killed March 21, 1985, in the eastern Cape Province township Of Langa.

Higher one-day death tolls have been recorded this year, bui they involved clashes of rival black political andtribalfac tions. Violence subsided yesterday afternoon in this city of nearly two million people. Helicopters and camouflaged Bosbok spotter planes flew over the haze of smoke from burning rubbish and chimneys, which mixed with occasional wisps of tear gas. Last night, journalists reported that youths in six neighborhoods rebuilt barricades troops had tried to dismantle and security forces fired birdshot and tear gas at them. SOWETO, South Africa (AP) Police killed 12 blacks in Soweto, a mob hacked a town councilor to death and 70 people were' shot, beaten or stoned in the worst township rioting since early 1985, officials said yesterday.

Doctors and clergymen said 20 people were killed and up to 100 injured. Relatives and newspapers said the dead ranged from 13 to 22 years old and included an 18-year-old woman. Five policemen were among the injured during the night of violence in this huge black city outside Johannesburg. Four were wounded by a hand grenade tossed from a crowd of 300 people barricading a road with burning tires; Officers fired shotguns in response, officials said. The roadblock battle was the spark that ignited the riots, said mation, the only source of official information on unrest under the nationwide state of emergency imposed June 12.

Residents said the trouble was rooted in anger over evictions of rent boycotters by township council police. Town clerk Nico Malan said, however, that no evictions had occurred in the five neighborhoods where the fighting took place. Councilor Sydenham Mkwana-zi, 56, was killed by youths who attacked him on his way home. His wife Novascotia said the young men were angry because one of their friends had died after being shot by guards at the Mkwanezi house. The outburst in Soweto was by far the worst under the emergen license.

I. Also named in the seven-count indictment were Julio Cesar Baez Acosta and Hernan Perdomo Duarte, Paraguayan residents who worked aboard a Paraguyan freighter, and Eugenio Silva, a Richmond automobile mechanic. The indictment charged that Silva and Castelo bought ammunition that Acosta and Duarte took to Paraguay aboard a freighter that left from Deepwater Terminal in Richmond. Anita Sanabria Castelo He said she would plead innocent to all the charges. "She is leaving everything up to me and is not disturbed in the least," Morchower said.

The lawyer had said earlier that Castelo merely acted as an interpreter for the men. Cameroon receiving suntilies YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) Food and medicine yesterday reached refugees who fled the gas-tainted mountains of northwest Cameroon, and scientists probed the muddy lake that had spewed a killer cloud of fumes. International relief supplies began arriving to help this tropical West African nation cope with the natural disaster that killed more than 1,500 people. Officials said nearly all of the dead had been buried, most of them near where they were found. The biggest remaining concern, they said, was burying thousands of dead animals putrefying in the stifling heat.

The rugged terrain, unpaved roads and unreliable communications hampered relief efforts. Army troops evacuated about 3,000 survivors of the gas explosion, but had trouble sealing off the area from people who wanted to return to their homes. About 2,000 soliders have closed off the area, which is about 200 miles northwest of Yaounde. "Our first priority is to set our priorities," said Jean-Marcel Mengueme, chairman of the government's crisis committee.

Until now, rescue operations, burial details and the transport of relief supplies were the responsibility of the Cameroonian army. One Western diplomat said the army, which has three U.S.-built Hercules transport planes and a few smaller aircraft, was having difficulty dealing with the influx of supplies. "It's a problem," said the diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"This government never faced anything on this scale before." Most of the refugees moved in with relatives outside the stricken district. A few hundred homeless people were evacuated to the town of Wum, about 20 miles from the disaster area, said Ivo Yenwo, an aide to President Paul Biya. Scientists began analyzing the water of Lake Nios, which the eruption turned from a brilliant blue to a murky reddish brown.

Yenwo said residents of the disaster area had been warned not to drink local water.

He said the army had provided tanks of purified water and that bottled water was an urgent need. A 17-member Israeli medical team that arrived in Cameroon on Monday reached the hospital in Nkambe, 60 miles east of Wum. A six-member French scientific team flew to the provincial capital of Bamenda on Tuesday but was unable to reach the disaster area 70 miles away. The government asked the United States to send technical experts, tents, acid-proof suits, gas detectors and food supplies, according to the State Department Deputy spokesman Charles Redman said Washington has initially invested about $250,000 and expects that figure to rise. Redman said a team of U.S.

doctors and another of scientists were en route to Cameroon. A Spanish Air Force cargo plane left Madrid for Cameroon with six tons of medicine, clothes and tents, the Spanish Health Ministry reported. GIANT SAVINGS ARE JUST MINUTES OPEN MON. 10 SAT. 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM SUN.
