Transcriber's Notes:
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were not
included in the table:
 Able to Read & Write=yes 
 Final Destination in the US=SF 
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco  
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes 
 By whom was passage paid?=self 
 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 ?.

1 has been to S.F. 1880, 1894.
2 has been to S.F. 1891, 1894.
3 Nationality is written Us.  Presumably this is US.  The Ever before in US 
   column says "Citizen U.S."  This passenger is crossed out, probably beacuse
   he is not an alien.
4 has been to S.F. 1887, 1894.
5 This passenger also appears on a second manifest (page 37) for this ship. 
   It is in a different format but provides the same information and is signed 
   "Micaila Romero."  Her name is not as clear on the first list but seems to
   be spelled Micaela.  She has been to S.F. 1870, 1894. Page 37 says she has
   been to S.F. in 1870 and 1895, the second is probably an error, since 1895
   had not yet arrived.  Page 37 say she is going to join niece Mrs Meza
   1302 Powell.  The arrival date on page 37 is "about Jan 1895" followed "by
   Dec 17 1894" written in a different hand.
6 name is probably Leong.  Sex is indicated by ditto marks to be F.  This is
   probably an error.  The transcriber has never seen a female with the 
   occupation of merchant.  Passenger has been to S.F. 1889, 189?.  This 
   passenger is crossed out, possibly because he is Chinese.  Chinese passengers
   were kept on separate lists, so he might appear on another list on the film
   of Chinese passengers.
