Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber,
or is used to call attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.
Question marks replace illegible information or letters.
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is a part of the National
Archives file system on Chinese persons. These numbers are included in the identification
of the film and reel numbers below.
Someone has written 10th beside the date in the Sworn Statement. May 10 is also the date
on the cover sheet.
There are two copies of the pages of this list for all passengers except those bound for
Nashville. (see page 2) The second copy is made on plain paper, rather than the form
usually used and has less information for the passengers. It appears to be a secondary
copy; however, the Nashville passengers are not included on the "regular" pages. The
columns on the "extra" pages are not named but appear to be: Number, Name, Age, Sex,
Occupation, and then there are two columns that have China entered for all passengers.
Between these two there is a column that has 4 entered for all passengers, perhaps this
is number of pieces of baggage. The last column on these pages has Steerage Deck Aft
entered for all passengers.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1897 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case O'Leary, except as otherwise noted below).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Landing 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. The National Archives
should have a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further destination there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
On the first page No of Certificate is crossed out, replaced by No of Ticket.
The following columns had no entries:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Callao is the port for Lima, Peru. San Benito is an island off the coast of Baja California
in Mexico. Demerara is in Guyana.
Passengers for Havana are ordered differently on the two lists. The order shown here is from
the "extra" list. On the "regular" list the third passenger listed here, Yue Way, is last.

have some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
