(Received December 31. 12.20 p.m.) WASHINGTON, December 30 Admiral Latimer, commanding the United States forces in Nicaragua, on Thursday notified the State Department. which had previously announced it had no knowledge of a censorship there, that all radio censorship in the neutral zone had been removed The message said the censorship was established for the purpose of maintaining the neutrality of the zone by preventing the sending of military instructions or information by either side. Juan Sacasa. President of the Liberal Government, established at Puerto Cabezas. sent a message on Thursday asserting that the declaration that the neueral zone was for the protection of foreign interests was only an apparent reason. The real motive was the protection of the Conservative Government and President Diaz in Managua. Sacasa said all his movements were impeded by American officers impos ing a censorship. His message would suffer censorship.
