Transcriber's Notes:
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, There appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. These numbers are
included in the identification of the film and reel numbers below.
Passengers' name and age are followed by a stamp that varies depending on the disposition
of the passenger which is stamped over whatever information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have one of the following stamps:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by
Insp's (blank for a name, Grant in this case). Many of these passengers have a place name
written over the stamp, probably Last Residence. Where a blank is transcribed in this
column no place has been written in. Where there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number. These passengers are bound for a
further port.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were probably allowed
to land, but not to freely enter the country.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
There are no entries for Height, Complexion, Color of Eyes, Physical Marks or Peculiarities
and Facts of Identification.
Passenger Notes
It is likely that all passengers, except 77, who do not have an occupation are Merchants.
The isolated entries of Merchant in that column occur at the beginning of a page or group.
There could be ditto marks for the passengers below that have been obscured by the stamp
placed over the entries in the various columns.
1 Landed by letter from Department of June 12, 1893. Ex Oficio Chinese Consulate
June 18, 1893.
3-4 are wife and daughter of Mah Fan.
5 Landed by letter from Department of June 12, 1893. "If accredited" column says "by Dept
survey Ruddell (appears as Deputy Collector on some manifests) June 18, 1893."
8 Age is obscured by a blot.
72 This name is crossed out, although the rest of the entry is not.
74-108 The places listed in the Last Residence column may represent a destination instead.
This page was originally a blank page, i.e., there are no column headings on it.
The locations are, however, farther to the left on the page than where the Last
Residence column would have been.
74-75 Although this appears to be Punto Arenas, it probably is Punta Arenas, Chile, in
Tierra del Fuego.
76-77, 79-82, 92-95, 101 These passengers are recorded as having departed per SS San Jose
June 23, 1893.
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M1414, Reel 5, Section 3, Manifest 9395.
