In the Oil We'll Region Near Tampico
 Villa Troops Evacuated.

Washington, May 1O-Carranza troops have reoccupied Panuca, in the oil well region near Tampico, accord ing to advices from Mexico today to the state department. The Villa force which captured the town about ten days ago. evacuated May and the CarranZa force marched in. Fight ing continues, however, at Ebano, about 30 miles from Tampico.
 Capture of Panuca by the Villa troops caused considerable appren- sion here, as it gave one faction con- trol of the producing wells of the re- zion while the other controlled the shipping terminals at Tampico and Tuxpan. British embassy officials feared the oil. supply needed for the British navy would be threatened
 The Villa agency issued a state ment today denying the recapture of Panuca but giving no details of the present situation. The statements all so announced that General Obregon had been driven back from Leon, a distance of sixty miles

Germany Regrets Loss of Americans
DESPATCH RECEIVED FROM FOR.
 EIeN OFFICE.
ACT OF RETALIATION
Against British Government for Plae- ing Embargo on Food for Civilian Population of Germany-says Re- sponsibiIity Rests with England.

Berlin, via London, May 10, 6.41 p. m.-The following despatch has been sent by the German foreign office to the German embassy at Washington: Please communicate the following to the state department:
 Says British Government Is Respon-
 sibIe.
 "The German government desires to express it's deepest sympathy at the loss of lives on board the Lusitania. The responsibility rests. however, with the British government, which, through it's plan of starving the civilian pop ulation of Germany, has forced Ger many to resort to retaliatory meas ures.
 British Merchant Vessels Armed.
 Tn spite of the German offer to stop the submarine war in case the star Vation plan was given up, British mer- chant vessels are being generally arm ed with guns and have repeatedly tried to ram submarines so that a previous search was impossible.
 "They cannot, therefore, be treated as ordinary merchant vessels. A re- cent declaration made to the British parliament by the parliamentary sec retary in answer to a question by Lord Charles Beresford, said that at the present practically all British mer- chant vessels were armed and pro- vided with hand grenades.
 Carried War Materials.
 Besides, it has been openly admitted by the English press that the Lusi- tania on previous voyages repeatedly carried large quantities of war ma terial. On the present voyage the Lu- sttania carried 54400 cases of ammuui- tion, while the rest of her cargo con- sisted chiefly of contraband.
 Should Heed Warnings.
 'If England, after repeated official and unofficial warnings, considered herself able to declare that that boat ran no risk and thus light -heartedly assumed responsibility for the human life on board a steamer which, owing to it's armament and cargo was liable to destruction, the German government government in spite of it's heartfelt sympathy for the loss of American lives, cannot but regret that Americans felt more inclined to trust to Eng fish promises rather than to pay at tention to the warnings from the Ger man side.

e2 LUSITANIA VICTIMS
 BURIED AT QUEENSTOWN
TownspeopIe Stood with 5ared Heads as Collins Were Conveyed to ceme- tery.


 as Collins Were Conveyed to ceme-
 tery.
 Queenstown, May 10, 11.45 D. m.- Ninety-two passengers of the Cunard line steamer Lusitania, who formed part of that pitiful handful of maimed, dead and dying brought ashore with the survivors of the disaster that fol- German submarine last Friday, were buried this afternoon, with services that have no parallel in history.
 Under a cloudIess sky and to the strains of hymns played by British soldiers they were laid to rest two miles behind Queenstown in a ceme- tery bursting with spring greenery and tucked between hills flaming with gorse. The services at the graves be- gan at o'clock and at half past four the sod of Ireland was being shoveled upon the coffins.
 Queenstown never sensed the full horror of the Lusitania disaster until today. Up to the time when the long stream of collins began to disappear over the hill behind the town there was about the affair what, with the continued searches for survivors and the hustle about the morgue,, some thing of the unusual and theatric, ization came that each of these cheap collins held body and that in the Atlantic, less than twenty miles away, there was over a thousand more-all victims of a German submarine
 The townspeople stood hatless near Iy all forenoon as the collins were con- veyed to the cemetery.
