Information ai hand ls very meagre, and sensational reports are currant that one hundred people were killed, ll is helii ved ihal at loasl forty persons have been killed and about seventy-five wounded, but it is impossible to gol much information as yoi. All is excitement and the streets are filled with men and frightened women and children. The disaster is certainly appalling. As nearly as can be learned seores of houses have hoon ontircly wrecked.

CATI., April l-l.'- Reports nf tho eycloni ul St. cloud, Sank Itapids, liyO Station and oilier points in the vicinity, !a-t night mid early this morning, were liol exaggerated. At . :! o'clock this morning in the pl.ua - named lhere wete forty nine dead and ncarl.. two hundred injured, willi many still missing, whose bodies will probably be recovered. Just enough houses are left in Sank Itapids to lorin a fringe around ?he village limits. Thc debris is not piled in heaps, but scat tered far and wide. The sign "Sank itapids" on the Manitoba depot, and a basket full ol'school books were found in Rye Station, flftcoii miles distant. This shows the terrible power ot ibo storm. Tho rovisod est?malos of the killed and wounded are: St. Cloild, br> killed 40 injured: Sank Rapids, :.<> killed, 100 injured: Rye Station, -J-J killed, number of wounded ns yet unknown Sr. Ci.ot i), MINN, April l?. - A few minutes after 4 o'clock yesterday after noon the skies became overcast with a dark cloud, and a great black mass rose over the hills southwest ol' thc city, and coming with terrible velocity to tho western outskirts in a direct line for tho Manitoba freight yards. The clouds hung low, and rolled over and over liko smoke over a.hattie Held, and were accompanied by a loud roaring sound, that re-einbled a conflagration in ils fury. The cloud was funnel shaped, and the point dragged along the ground like Ibo tail of n hugo a ria! beast, lashing everything thal came in its path into atoms. The citizens bad hardly time to flee lo their collars and seek other points of refuge before a whirlwind was on thom nod tho air filled with Hying hoards, shingles, bricks and other debris, thal was strvwn ?iver the country and piled in promiscuous heap-, li caine from tho southest and moved in a northerly direction until il reached the river, w here its courx? was diverted and I<>1 lowed thc river banks mn il il reached Sank Rapids, where it diverged to thc loft, passing directly through! tho cen tre ot that town. The Utmasl excitement prevailed. Women and children fled from their houses and rushed aimlessly about in thr midst of thc dark cloud of dual and an avalauce of hoards and brick. Men lost I heir presence of mind mid stood in silence and inactivity in thc presence of tho wind demon, lt was hardly noticed before it was oil the eily in all its fury, and the people were not warned of their danger before it was upon them, and they fell like grain stalks bet?re, thc reaper's sickle. Tho portion of St. (?loud struck by the ovolono was tho southwestern sec tion, and was the residence portion occupied by the laboring class of people, the majo i i ty of them being foreigners employed on the railroads. Their dwellings were light built houses and became easy prov to thc monster that had 80 viciously pounced upon them. They were Uko cockle shells in thc grasp of the whirlwind, and were picked up and tossed in thc air and rent into a thousand pieces. The earth was plowed up in the linc of the cyclone, and the path over which it passed, to a width of nearly a quar ter ot a mili!, looks as though it had been upheaved by a terrible volcanic eruption. It had hardly begun ils terrible work before it was finished, and the scene that greeted tho eyes of those who had escaped its fury was ono that caused ibo stoutest heart to shudder. The cries and shrieks of the wounded rent the air, and tho ground was strewn with (he bodies of Ibo dead. Among them wore stalwart men, weak women, and weaker child ren. Thc citizens almost to ?i mau rushed to (he demolished districts, and summoning physicians began (heir work ot rescuing ihoso who were still living from beneath tho piles of dirt and fallen buildings. SAUK tlAPIDS, MINK., April l?. - The cyclone struck Ibis city shortly aller I o'clock yesterday afternoon, (ind in just six minutes the best ponton of tho town was in ruins. Not a single bil i 1)083 house was left standing on Main slreel. Many residences were demol ished. The wind came from tho southwest ami swept everything he fore it for a with li of about blocks. Tho court-house is now n heap of cms, and sevornl county officers are killed. The Union school-house, the Preshy teriau and Congregational churches, tho postofficc, a flour mill and a largo machine shop wore all converted into kindling wood in less l'une ;han it takes to loll it. What was once the centre of tho town is now covered with debris -timoor, doors, pieces of furni Ivie, etc. Only the City Hotel re mains intact. Tho Northern Pacillc depot is literally blown away and a largo number of freight cars over turned upon tho irnckfl. Scarcely a vestige of any of tho wrecked Structures remained intact. Tho ground is covered with all kinds of timber?! promiscuously tangled to got lier, ti Iscslimatod tlmt 400 struc tures (all traine) wore blown dow.; and thc neat ami costly Manitoba depo! waa unroofed ami wrecked, Uni alne.st entirely cutting oil' telegraphic communication.
