The propagation of a gravitational wave in the non-empty interstellar space, in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, is investigated. It is found that the type of interaction of the wave with the interstellar plasma depends on the direction of propagation of the gravitational wave with respect to the magnetic field. In the oblique and parallel propagation cases the results are consistent with the already studied propagation in empty space (Kleidis et al. 1993). In the oblique case the interaction may be chaotic, leading to a diffusive acceleration of the plasma particles. In the parallel case the particles may be trapped in a resonance and accelerated to "infinite" energies. In the quasiparallel case, however (i.e. propagation at a small angle with respect to the magnetic field) a new type of interaction is possible, consisting of a combination of chaotic and resonant interactions.
