Modified Censorship

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The govern
ment censorship on cable dispatches has
been modified to the extent of allowing
commercial houses to send code messages
to Venezuela and Brazil. The only re-
striction on these messages is that they
shall not pass between Spanish officials
The modification was due to urgent re-
quests from commercial houses having
large cable correspondence with Venezuela
and Brazil. The restrictions not only in
terrupted their business bu. subjected
them to heavy expenses in not being able
to condense messages to cipher code. Gen.
Greeley, in charge of the telegraphic and
cable lines, felt that the modificationwould
not involve any disadvantage to the gov
ernment.
