By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October "a. - Spain
charged Portugal today with the death
of 40 Spanish sailors during a naval
engagement as Russia renewed her
demand for a blockade of Portuguese
ports to prevent shipment of muni-
tions to anti-Madrid insurgents.
The accusations against the Lisbon
government were made public by the
Spanish Embassy while diplomats de-
bated new measures to make interna-
tional non-intervention in the civil
war effective.
The embassy said its information
was received from the Spanish
Embassy in Paris from a telegram
sent by the subgovernor of Spanish
Guinea, a West African possession.
The Portuguese were charged with
sending the motorship Ciudad De
Macao. with the hull and tunnels
painted similar to those OF a German
vessel into African waters.
Fired on Spanish Flag, Charge.
On October IA. the embassy as
serted, "the Ciudad De Macao fired
without warning at very short range
four shells at the rriotorship Fernando
Po, flying a Spanish flag, which set
this vessel on fire and sank it. The
captain and the crew of the Fernando
Po were drowned"
The embassy also added fresh
charges against Germany. alleging,
among other things:
!. Fifteen German submarines en-
tered the Mediterranean through the
Gibraltar gateway the night of Octo-
Der 10.
2. On October 8 I6o German
youths arrived at Seville in an open
boat with IL anti-aircraft guns" and

The subcommittee, which was
called into session to review the gen.
eral work of the full committee and
consider whether or in what respect
the neutrality agreement could be
made more effective, will meet again
Monday. The full committee will
meet Wednesday.
Set-up Is Deadlocked.
It was apparent the whole non-in-
tervention set-up was still tied in q
tight knot, further snarled by over
night developments which included
Portugal's abrupt rupture of diplo-
matte relations with Madrid.

non-intervention delegate, said: THE

Unearthed Coins
Lead to Hunt for
Hidde1, Fortune
arlington Laborers
Seek $4,000 in
Excavation.
BY q stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON, Va, October 23.-
"Thar's gold in them thar hills" was
the theme today as laborers dug
frantically in search for a mythical
10000 treasure after several dozen
pre- Civil War coins were unearthed
in excavations for a new subdivision
here.
Two gold dollars, dated 1858, and
an uncounted number of silver half
dollars. quarters and dimes, bearing
dates prior to 1861, had been found
since a steam shovel scattered the
coins in uprooting q tree stump late
yesterday.
Spurred by the tale of an 80-year-
old resident Of the area that $4,000
Is buried somewhere nearby, the COL
ored laborers neglected their work to
dig in all directions Of a circle radiat-
ing from the hole left by the stump.
Although secretly pocketing any
coins found, the men were known to
have obtained at least two gold dollars
this morning and more than a dozen
silver coins late yesterday. Before they
decided the coins may have more
value the men sold several yesterday
for as much as 50 to officials of the
c. w. Clever Co., which has charge
Of the development.
At a late hour this morning their
search for some sort Of hidden con-
tainer that might hold the mythical
treasure had been futile.
The money found was presumably
hidden just prior to the Civil War.
The scene is within 5 miles of the
home Of Gen. Robert E. Lee on Ar
lington Ridge.
The workmen are engaged in ex-
cavating foundations for homes in the
new Oaklee subdivision, located on the
Lee boulevard about coo feet east Of
Glebe road.

Indians OF direct descent were

The Marques of Linlithgow. sue
ceeding Lord Wilmington as vice
roy of India, is, in the opinion Of
many. shouldering the most diff
cult task any subject of the Brit
ish crown has had to face within
the empire for so years.
The great Indian sub-contin-
ent will have to be changed by him
from an automatically governed
British possession under a viceroy
into an autonomous federation in
which the empire will be repre-
scented by a governor general.
No man, Britishers here think,
could do the job better. Lord
Linlithgow was chairman Of the
parliamentary committee that
shaped the autonomy-giving con-
stitution for India in 1888.
