JAMBA, Angola Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi says peace negotiations to remove Cuban sold iers from Angola and establish independence for South-West Africa are at a difficult but irreversible stage.

Students set off firecrackers" and some played the Beatles' song "Revo lution" on a stereo as police swept through the crowd, estimated at about 700 people Saturday night. Other people tore down street signs and jumped on cars or threw beer bottles and pieces of lumber. About 60 officers, including some from the State Patrol and neighbor ing counties, shot tear gas to disperse the crowd and made 46 arrests, most on misdemeanor charges of unlawful conduct or criminal damage to property, Moline said. After a lull of a few hours, 150 officers were sent in early Sunday to break up crowds of 150 to 200 people, some of whom had set fire to furniture and a trash carrier that had been dragged into the street, Moline said.

The riots broke out in the midst of homecoming celebrations by the school's 16,400 students. Witnesses said the problems began when officers tried to break up loud parties and fights. Moline said that in his 31 years on the police force, the weekend's violence could be topped only by demonstrations against the Vietnam War in the 1960s. Student Randy Ridehour, 23, said officers backed off several times Saturday night to avoid a potentially disastrous confrontation. "It was mob mentality," he said. Many people had been drinking heavily and were enjoying the havoc, he said. "A lot of kids thought they were being cool and funny. The students were acting stupid." Some of the i handful of people arrested Friday night probably will be charged with felony assault for throwing beer bottles, and the arrests Sunday morning will result in several more misdemeanor charges, Moline said.

Two men were killed, and 11 men and women suffered burn injuries when attackers threw gas bombs at a home in the Mpuma langa township near the southeast-. ern city of Pietermaritzburg, police said! In the same township, police found the body of a man who had been stabbed to death. In Soweto, the main township outside Johan nesburg, a man was shot dead,' police said. All the attacks were listed in the police report, which describes incidents the previous 24 hours, but the report provided no addi tional details. The townships outside Pieter maritzburg have been the site of the worst black-on-black faction fighting in South Africa in recent years. At least 600 people have been killed in black-on-black fighting the last two years, accord ing to most estimates. U.S. to sign for military bases WASHINGTON The Uni ted States has agreed to pay the Philippines $481 million annually and back a bond program to help ease the country's foreign debt as part of a lease agreement for U.S. military bases, Foreign Secretary Raul Manglapus said Sunday. Secretary of State George Shultz and Manglapus plan to sign the pact on Monday. In Manila, Philippine President Corazon Aquino announced the expected signing but provided no details. A U.S. -Philippine working group picked away at the details of the agreement on Saturday and again on Sunday. While some technical points remained to be resolved, the signing ceremony tentatively was. set for Monday afternoon. "We still continue to be hopeful to conclude the negotiations," said Alex Armasov, a State Depart ment press officer. Anti-nuclear protesters arrested - SEABROOK, N.H. Eighty four demonstrators, including at least two children less than 10 years old, were arrested Sunday in a protest against the long delayed Seabrook nuclear power plant. Those arrested had climbed a News in Brief fence with handmade ladders or had blocked plant gates during the finale of a two-day protest against possible low-power testing of the $5.6 billion plant later this year. Total attendance for both days was about 500. Marie Benedum, 66, of Banbor ton, who had four generations of her family at Sunday's protest, wanted to go over the fence but held back because of a bad knee. "This is a very decisive time," she said. "There is so much at stake. They want to start the low power testing, and I don't believe in that." Police said nine juveniles among those arrested were not charged. They said the other 75 were charged with criminal trespassing, a violation comparable to a speed ing ticket, and released. Seabrook has been a target of protests since before construction began in 1978. It was completed in 1986 but has been unable to get a federal operating license. Politician says POWs ignored ASHEVILLE A team of U.S. government officials search-" ing crash sites in the Vietnamese countryside for the bones of missing American servicemen is ignoring evidence of live Ameri cans while digging for remains, former U.S. Rep. Bill Hendon said. . ' "For us to spend our time and resources digging around the wreckage of an airplane that crashed 20 years ago while Amer ican POWs starve nearby in communist prisons is unbelieva ble," said Hendon, who is coor dinating a $2.4 million reward pledged by 21 congressmen for the return of a live prisoner. "From press reports, it's clear that on the way to the crash sites, the U.S. team almost stumbled over one of Vietnam's newest and most secure prison facilities where the U.S. government has eyewit ness accounts and volumes of intelligence showing American POWs being held there well into the 1980s," Hendon said. A Department of Defense spo kesman told the Asheville Citizen if there have been reports of Amer- icans oeing neia in Vietnamese prisons but said that none have been proved to', be American servicemen captured during the war. k ; Goldman Sacns
