Transcriber's Notes:

There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The words "or Single" have been crossed out of the heading for Married or 
 Single, leaving married.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were
 not included in the table:
  Able to Read & Write=yes
  Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco
  By whom was passage paid?=self
  Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes (except 2)
  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
Entries in the Final Destination column have been abbreviated from San 
 Francisco in the interest of space.

2 occupation is "Austrian army officer."  He has no ticket to final destination,
   which is "New York enroute to Europe."
5 occupation is "wife of Imigai Seitaro."  She is going to join her husband,
   Imiga Seitaro, 1237 Geary St SF.  Imiga is written in very small letters 
   for the husband's name.  The second "i" could be there but there is no dot.
   It would appear that Imigai is the surname of this group, although the  
   names have been reversed for her and her husband.
7 has been to San Francisco once 1891.
