The "marriageable age" varies great-

Germany the man must l>e at least
eighteen years of ags. In France and
Belgium the m.in must be eighteen and

Washikotox. July 19— Secretary
Alger, as he left the White house st
midnight, announced that the van.
guard of the Porto Rican expedition
had started from Cuba.
Orders were sent to General Miles
and Admiral Sampson to start for
Porto Rico as soon as possible The
Yale, carrying General Mile, and a
of the expedition, and other
transports carrying the remainder of
the troops of (ieneral Shafter's com-
mand destined for l'orto Rico, will
proceed to the landing place agreed
upon under convoy of Admiral Samp-
son's vessels. I'pon their arrival a
ling will be effected under the
guns of the warships.
I^arge forces will be hurried to Porto
Rico from the United States. The
troops at Charleston, which have been
ready to leave for several days, are
under orders to start to-dsy. The reg-
ular troops now st Tampa will be hur-
ried to l'orto Rico as rapidly as ships
can carry tliem. It is the expectation
of the secretary of war that within ten
days forty thousand American troops
will be on Vorto Rican soil.
There are some notable differences
In the plans of this expedition and for
the stately naval pageant that sailed
away from Tampa under General
Shafter's command, to attack Santi-
ago. First, there will be practically
no navsl convoys, the navy depart-
ment having declared that they are
unnecessary, that there is not a Span-
ish warship in the West Indies that
dare thrust its bow out of port. In
the seeond plscc. the expedition does
not start from one port, but will be di-
vided among several ports, thus pre-
venting the tremendous congestion
that was encourtered at Tainpa in the
effort to start the big fleet. Lastly,
there will be no effort to get the ships
away together, but the transports will
be allowed to find their own way to
their destination without concerted
movements.
