The Secretary of State to the Chargé des Affaires in the Dominican Republic (Brewer)
1. After consultation with Navy Department and Mr. Russell it is considered that since censorship has been practically abolished by the order of December 22 from Military Governor to Brigade Commander, an executive order should be issued abolishing censorship but continuing in force all regulations in regard to publication of articles outlined in said order to Brigade Commander and holding civilly and criminally responsible violators of its provisions. Consult with Military Governor at once on this subject.
