Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. 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 and which is stamped over whatever
information has been entered in the columns.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1893 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant). Many of these passengers have a place name written over
the stamp. Where a blank is transcribed in this column no place has been written in. Where
there is a question mark the entry is illegible.
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
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.
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 No of Ticket column was added by the completer of the list.
Grocer appears to have been written at the top of the list for all male passengers
with ditto marks below. For passengers going to San Francisco the "Landed" stamp was
placed over this so it is difficult to be sure.
Male is clearly written at the top of the list for all passengers for Merida, Panama
and Havana. It also appears for passengers for San Francisco with Certificates of
Identification.
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
9 has a note "with husband."
10 has a note "with her father."
46-48 have what appears to be a name and address written on the line.
46 Song Yack Wong Long Washington St.
47 Chan(possibly) Sam Choy Dupont St.
48 Lai Fook Lung Washington St.
49 has a note "with aunt No 561."
51 has a note "with his mother No 561."
