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 information 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 is a system of numbering the manifests that is a
part of the National Archives file system on Chinese persons. 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) 1895 by
Insp's (blank for a name, in this case Grant).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Landing 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.
Landing 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
There are a few places in the No of Certificate column where Ticket is written
in: In the margin of passenger 19, at the head of the column for passengers
bound to Panama and at the top of all other pages, thus including all
passengers not bound for San Francisco.
Occupation is recorded as Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.
Bluefields is on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Punta Arenas is on the
Strait of Magellan in Chile.
According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is
possible that they have some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived
in San Francisco after 1886.
1 There is a note over the "Affadavit Merchant": "see certificate #64."
3 There is another name in parentheses after the second name: "Bun."
5 There is a note over the "Affadavit Merchant": "see certificate #1."

T, Su, Fu, Tu.

16 There is a note over the "Affadavit Merchant": "see certificate #85."
18 There is a note over the "Affadavit Merchant": "see certificate #87."

Chong Jackson St. $100 deposit."

Railroad.
113-117 Departed per S.P.R.R. March 26 '95. This is probably Southern Pacific
