PAUL, MINN., April 14.-St. Cloud and Sauk Rapids, this 4atiie, were swept by a terribly destructive cyclone about 5:30 o'clock this after noon. The first knowledge- of the di1aster was contained in a telegram sent to Mayor Ames from St. Cloud, reporting tie disaster and asking that a special be sent with physi.cian11s. A bililar dispatch WAS recccived frotl Sank Rapids. Immediately upon re ceipt of these messages preparations were nadie to restpond to (lie call for help. A train, for St. Cloud left at 6 o'clock. Information at hand is very meagre, and sensational reports ar'e eeurrent that one hundred people were killed. It is believed that. at !east forty persons have beei killed and about seventy-five wounded, but it is impossible to get much informationl as yet. All is excitement and the streets are filled with einc and frightened women and children. The disaster is certainly appalling. As nearly as can be learned scores of houses have been entirely wrecked. Twelve physicians were aboard the relief train -vhich left for St. Cloud. ST. PAUL,'April 14.-Private advices say the storm struck the. railroad be tween the round house and depot, and swept Ia path 600 yards wide through the city, levelling between 150 and 200 houses. II. M. Clark, a well-known lumberman who lives in St.. Cloud, says tinety persons were killed anil more than 100 injured, mtaly very seriously. Superintendent Wakeman of the Manitoba Road savs thal be tween thirty and forty pe'-ons werI( killed at Sauk Itapids, a tew mile> soul heast of St. Cloud, and nearlh double that inbc"r injm-ed. ST.

The portioni of St. Cloud struck by the cyclone was the southiwestertn see tion, antd was the resideuice portioni occuptied by the laboritng class of peiople, thle maltjo i ty of them being foreignetrs employed on the trailrtoads.

SAUK RAPIDS, MINN., April 15. --Trho cyclone strtuck this city shortly after~ I o'clock yester'day afterinoon, tand in just sik mintutes the best 11ortioni of thie town was in ruins. Not a sintgle butsi' ness house was left stand(inig otn Main str-eet 'Many residences were demol ished. TIhe wind camne front the southwest and swept everythinug be fore It for a width of about blocks. The court-house Is unow a heap of ruins, and several county ofhceers'ar'e killed. The Union school-houise, the Presby terlan and Congregational chiurchces, the postoffice, a floutr mill, and a lat'ge * mnchine shop were all converted into kindlifng wood in less time than It takes to toll It.

The Nort hern Pacific d epot is llteraiiy bh,own away anid a large niumber of freight care over turned upon the tracks. So.roely"a vestige of any) of the wrked structures remained itact. TeEround is covered with all kinds 9- * of timbers, prom11iscIoUSly tangled to getier. It Is estimoated that 400 struc tures (all fraine) were blowi (9wn ' and the neat and costly Mduitoba depot wits unroofed and wrecked, thus almost entirely cutting off telegraphic communication. The only building ot 1. ally consequence a4fde 'from the depot s injured was the brewery, and this was badly warped and twisted. The smiall i residleices were mostly oCCurit"d bv 4 foreigners, who4e names it. has been imp.ssible to secure -with any degree of accuracy. The money loss is dis proportion1ately small. It is estimated that $60,000 will replace the buildingi destroyed. The force of the storm was such a" to wrench ofi' the door of the safe itn tho postofllco and carry it some dis tance from the building. A church bell veigh)itg 1,000 pounds was found among the debris tour hundred feet away from any building. The re mains of the (lead are almost unrecog nizable, being completely erushed and blackened. There are a remarkable number injured about the hijii. alldl spine. Many of the survivors will he disabled for life. Thirty-one persons are already dead. The list wilhbe swelled to tort r. I)r.

At Saik Rapids a man named Van Etton, who weighs 250 pounds, was carried 100 feet through the air and fataliv in jtred. A dead babV was f>und inl the street. No owner fotr it can be found. At St. Cloud in the track of the storm stood the Mnitol:1 freiglt house and calr.s filled witi fr;eight. The heavy cars were lifted trom the tracks antd cast ina shaltelet n mass.
