 London. June 25.-A despatch to the Times from Amsterdam reports that 2 crowd of women stormed . doxsn barges in tho inner harbor of Rotterdam Saturday and seized about a ton of potatoes destined for Eng land.
 Tho barges. which were loaded with a11 .0oo tons of potatoes, were then removed to the outer harbor, guarded by police.
 !. Trouble. whereof tho foregoing is g mere incident. has arisen, accord ing to tho correspondent between Holland and England and Germany. Germany expected last week con- sixnmenf of new potatoes in return for German exports of coal to Hol- land. Before a consignment could bs made. 1000 tons of old potatoes had to be shipped to England under contract The people of Rotterdam who are themselves insuficiently supplied. learning that these potatoes were awaiting shipment, raided the bar6es. Meanwhile the Germans arc threatening to cease coal supplies, unl1s0 the potatoes arc sent.
 Tho correspondent says if the Dutch yield to German pressure and send these potatoes to Germany they will break their agreement with Eng land and endanger their supply of grain from America which might prove as serious as the loss of Cor man coal.
