State Grange-RePOrt OF the Commit
tee on transportation,
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21-In the State Grange
to-day the following report Of the. Commit
tee on Transportation was adopted:
Whereas, we deem the facilities offered
us by our present railroadsystem inadequate
for the transportation of agricultural pro-
ducts of the West to the seaboard; and
whereas, for want OF a sufficient coEIpeti-
tion, railroad companies seem disposed TO
extort rates for freight which are unjust
and oppressive; therefore,
Resolved, that we appeal to our Senators
and Representatives in Congress TO use
their influence to secure the improvement
of navigation of the Mississippi River and
all its important tributaries by the National
Government, and as soon as possible.
On motion, the Secretary was instructed
to send a copy of this report 10 each MEM
Der OF the Missouri delegation in Congress.

THE crane crop in Spain is turning on

THE grape crop in Spain is turning ont
quite poorly this season, and the latest ad-
vices from Malaga report stock of raisins
in that market of only 26j,C00 boxes
against something over $4,000 boxes at the
same time last year. The latest estimate
OF the crop is 100000 boxes short of the
previous one. The fact that there would
be a marked falling of in the yield has
been known here for some time past, and
spectators have embraced the opportunity
to purchase for an advance, over 100000
boxes nov being held here by two promi-
nent houses in the fruit trade.

The Recent Demonstrations by
Volunteers.
Some "Details of the Affair.


New YORK, Feb. 21-A correspondent
writing from Havana says: On the dem
OnstTatiOn made there by the volunteers on
Thursday evening, Feb. II, a large body of
volunteers, unarmed, however, had assem-
bled at the Plaza de Arms, in front of the
Captain-General's palace and had demand
ed with lQaSpcries, change of the DEGREES
regardinJkhe draft, wishing to be allowed
to go into the campaign by full battallions,
and not be drafted into the service. In or
der to prevent riot, orders were given to
clear the crowd, which was done by a squad
Of mounted civil guards, duringwhich some
persons were wounded and five killed. A
strong force of armed volunteers was then
rapidly stationed on all the streets in the
city, opening in the square in which is the
palace, and no one was allowed to pass.
Pickets Of cavalry were also stationed out
side of Havana, and preparations made to
put down any further disturbance.
The day following the demonstrations,
several arrests were made, the most notable
of which is that Of the eX-Cure of the Ca
thedral, Father Gastric, who was distin-
guished in Havana for his faStidiOus habits
and his radical republicanism. SenOr Mar
tineZ, formerly editor of the Journal of this
city, was also arrested. Both are accused
of being concerned in the disturbances.
So general seems 10 be the belief that it
will go hard with them, that a report is
current that Gastric and Martinez have
already been tried and sentenced to death.

The Merchants Resolve Against Hav.
ing War

At a meeting of the Merchants club COM
posed of prominent citizens and capitalists
in this city and State, held last night, the
following resolutions were passed:
Whereas, Reports having been circulated
throughout the country that Nebraska is in
danger of Indian War, and attacks upon its
settlements on accOuntof difficulties occurr-
ing at Indian agencies, located hundreds of
miles from the extreme Western border of
the State; and many exaggerated statements
having been made which are calculated TO
inflict great damage upon its interests;
therefore,
Resolved, That the murder of Robinson,
Coleman and Appleton, near Red Cloud
Agency, in the Territory of Dakota, grew
ont of local difficulties at that agency, and
involved not the slightest indication of
general uprising of the Indian tribes.
Resolved, that from the best infOrma-
tion Obtainable, no hostile Sioux have con-
templated or made any movement looking
to attacks upon the settlements in NebTas-
ka or DakOtah; that the official reports from
Col. Smith, cOmmandant of Fort Laramie,
confirmed by those of Agent Saville, show
that Red Cloud and large majority of the
Indians at the various agencies are guard
ing themselves against possible injury
from Northern hostile Indians, which prove
their friendly disposition beyond cavil or
dispute.
Resolved, that it is the opinion of this
club that Congress would do q wise act to
transfer the exclusive control and conduct
of Indian affairs TO the Department Of
War.
