Transcriber's Notes:

The departure port is identified simply as "Panama."  Research suggests this 
means Panama City.

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 (except 3)
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco
 Final Destination in the US=San Francisco
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes
 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 ?.

Passenger Notes:
2 has been to SF 1895.
3 is recorded as able to read but not to write.  Spain is written above Espanol 
  in the Last Residence column.
4-5 names are joined by brackets.  Money is shared by both passengers as 
  indicated by a bracket.  It appears that the entries in the marital status 
  column have been reversed for these passengers.
6-7 Last Residence is Lima, Peru.  They have been to SF 1895.
