 LONDON, Dec. 21. - Reuters Tele- gram company has learned that consid- erable anxiety exists in the best in formed circles of London regarding the possible outcome of the situation in the far east, Fears, it says, are expressed that the Russian government may have overstepped the boundary which would make continuation of peaceful nego- tiations with Japan possible It may be regarded as quite certain, 1t asserts, that Japan will not accept the princi- ples of the last Russian note, which are altogether at variance with Japan's main contentious, and that Japan's re- ply must necessarily be cast in this sense,
 The report that Japan has sent an ul- timatum to Russia is discredited here, and no information of corroborative nature is in the possession of the for eign legations.

WOODS PROMOTION.
Secretary Root Sends Gener-
 al's Record to Proctor.
BOTH PRESIDENTS APPROVED OF HIM.
Do 0hicer Below Grade of Major Gem ernl Has Ever Held More ImDor- kant Commands or Rendered
 Mora Distinguished Service.

wASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--The letter cf Secretary Root to Senator Proctor, acting chairman of the committee on military affairs. giving resume of the military record of General Leonard tions which led to his nomination as a major general has been made public.
 After quoting from remarks com mandatory to General Wood made by. Generals Miles, Lawton, Graham and Forsythe the letter recites that upon these and similar evidences of fitness President Mckinley appointed Captain Wood colonel of the First volunteer cavalry in May, 1S98."
 The secretary also quotes from the commendations of Generals Young, Wheeler, Sumner and Shafter on Gen. eraI Woods conduct in the Santiago appointment as commander of the San tiago province appears to have been based upon a statement made by Gen eral Smarter in a dispatch to the de partment, in which he said he thought General Wood by far the best man to leave in command of Santiago"
 The secretary reviews General Wood s subsequent military career, saying in this connection:
 The high estimate put by the secre- tary of war upon General Woods serV- ices as military governor is shown in the published orders of the war depart ment, as the opinions expressed in those orders were the opinions of both presidents under whom the service was rendered.
 Upon a review of General Woods entire military record think it fair to say that no officer of the American ar my below the grade of major general has held more important commands, rendered more distinguished service or demonstrated to a higher degree the possession 6f fhe qualities which fit a man to render valuable services to the country as major general"
 Previous rank" continues the secre tary. lis of little consequence provided the service shall have been long enough to furnish the requisite experience and make the demonstration of capacity certain
 The secretary says he thinks botf considerations unite in the case of Gen aral Wood and concludes by saying that General Woods record and tht views of public policy led Presiden Mckinley to appoint him a brigadiel general and that the present nomina don is in the regular order of seniority
