Special Nuoost Ssrv,es.
 LONDON. Dec. S.--Word has been received that the Persian council this morning dispatched an ultimstum to Russia. demanding that the troops now approaching the capital not to be allowed to proceed beyond Kasbin which is about one hundred miles from the capital.
 This uitimatum being dispatched after Persia had appealed to the pow ers for help Is believed to be the out come of an understanding between England or some of the other powers who will not stand for Russia trying to grab . foothold In Persia upon such slim pretext
 Three days ago the Russians landed troops upon the Persian coast on the Caspian sea and since that time they have been marching south at the rate of about twenty-five miles per day toward the capital.
