Berlin, May 10, by wireless to Lon don.-The following telegram has been sent by the German foreign office to the German embassy at Washington:
 "Please communicate to the state, department:
 "The German government desires to- express the deepest sympathy for the loss of American lives aboard the Lusitania. The responsibility rests with the British government which, through it's plan for starving the ci-, william population of Germany, forced Germany to resort to retafiatory measures.
 "In spite of the German offer to stop submarine war in case the starvation plan was given up, the British gov ernment has taken even more string ent blockade measures. British mer- chant vessels gre being generally arm ed with guns and have repeatedly tried to ram submarines. so that previous search is impossible.

Besides, it was openly admitted by the English press that the Lusi- tania, on previous voyages, had re- peatedly carried large quantities of war material.
 "On her present voyage, the Lusi- tania carried 5,400 cases of ammuni- tion, while the rest of the cargo con- sisted chiefly of contraband.

 "The German government, in spite of it's heartfelt sympathy for the loss of American lives cannot but regret that American felt more inclined to trust English promises than to pay attention to warnings from the Ger man side.

klnsale, England, May 1O.-"We, the jury, find that this appalling crime was contrary to international law and the conventions of all civilized nations, and we therefore charge the officers of the submarine, the German emper- or, and the government of Germany under whose orders they acted, with the crime of willful and wholesale murder"
 This verdict was returned today by the coroner's jury which for two days has been holding an inquest over the bodies of five of the Lusitania victims. The verdict was ordered by Coroner John Horgan, after hearing testimony of survivors and of Capt. w. P. Turn CT, captain of the Lusitania.
 Captain Received Warning.
 Captain Turner admitted that he had been warned that an attempt would be made to sink his ship.
 "Was the Lusitania armed?" Coro- ner Morgan asked him.
 "She was not"
 "I was aware of the threat to tor pedo the Lusitania," continued Cap tain Turner. "and as soon as we came into the danger zone, after pass ing Fastnet, had all our boats swung out and ordered a double lookout for submarines"
 Early in the morning, he said, the Lusitania had been forced to slow down on account of the fog. She was travelling below her normal rate of speed when hit. he stated, because he wished to so regulate the vessel that she would reach Liverpool before high water.
 Knew Submarines Near.
 Captain Turner further declared that he had been in wireless com munication with the admiralty, and that he had been told German subma- rines were lurking in the vicinity. Three of his lookouts sighted the tor pedo simultaneously. he said, and three cries, There's torpedo" reach ed his ears.
 He then saw the wake of torpedo. The missile struck the Lusitana be- tween the first and second tunnels.
 "After the torpedo struck, a cloud of smoke and steam arose from be- tween the two funnels," said Captain Turner, "There was slight shock immediately after the first explosion, and another report which might have been internal.
 "I immediately ordered the boats lowered to the rails and directed that the women and children get into them I ordered the ship to be stopped, but we could not stop because the explo- sions had put the engines out of com mission. It was unsafe to lower the boats until the speed wore off. There was a perceptible headway on the Lusitania up to the moment she sank When she was struck, she listed te
