Transcriber's Notes
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this 
  manifest.
The blank for the date of arrival in port has no month entered.  However, 
  this manifest is surrounded on the film by ships that arrived in 
  June 1893 and is listed in the index on the film as arriving in June.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so 
  were not included in the table:
Sex=male
Able to Read & Write=yes (exception, Thompson=no)  
Seaport for Landing in the US=San Fran
Final Destinationin the US=San Fran
Having a ticket to final destination=yes
By whom was passage paid?=himself
Whether going to join Relative or Friend=no 
Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
Whether a Polygamist=no
Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
Whether having any deformities=no 
Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.
The numbers in the Whether in Possession of Money column are written 
  with the final two zeros elevated above the line with a line drawn 
  under them, as one would do to indicate cents.
Smith's nationality could be Russian Finn or perhaps Russian Furrier.
Sky There is no Materwell or Mathwall in Washington according to the 
  US Geologic Survey.  However, there is a Mattawa.
Goldham The missing letter in Occupation could be "r", "o" or "s."
