Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber,
or is used to call attention to additional inforamtion in the transcriber notes.
? Question marks replace illegible information or letters.
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.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1894 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Refused 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. The National Archives should have
a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United States from
curiosity."
Occupation was omitted to save space. It is Merchant for all except 113-117, 129-130,
138 (see below). For passengers bound for Havana occupation is Grocer.
Many of the dates of landing are illegible due to ink that appears to have run.
102 "Mole on right ? of neck" is written in last column.
113-115,
117, 129 Occupation is wife.
117 There is a note "& infant daughter."
116 Occupation is daughter.
130 Occupation is son.
138 Occupation is Doctor.
145 There is a note " with her mother #190 child [of] merchant"
160 Also departed per Steamer Colon April 9, 1894
226-228 Departed per SPRR Apr 7, 1894. [Probably Southern Pacific RR]
