ST. 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.

Sr. CI.ocn, MINN, April 15. -- A few
liuutes after -1 o'clock yesterday after=

The portioni of St. Cloud struck by
the cyclone was the southiwestertn see

occuptied by the laboritng class of
peiople, thle maltjo i ty of them being
foreignetrs employed on the trailrtoads.
Their dwellinugs wvere lightt built

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. What was once tihe centre
of the towni la now covered with
* debris--trmber, doors, pieces of furni
tvard, etc. Only the. City Hotel re
fpaI na Intact. 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.
Ames, of Minneapolis, who is on dut
at St. Cloud, informed 1)r. I)olliver
that at least thirty deathi can but, re
stilt from the visitation there. 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
