Transcriber's Notes:

The departure port is recorded simply as "Panama."  Research suggests that this
refers to Panama City, Panama.

There is no captain's statement attached to this manifest.  There is a notation 
at the bottom of the page:"District Port of San Francisco, November 8th 1895 
Robert R Bearle, Commander."

There is a signature at the bottom of the page WH Jones Purser.
