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.
The Sworn Statement is dated July 20 but 19th is written in beside it. July 19 is also the
date on the cover sheet.
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) 1896 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case O'Leary except as 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 port there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
Occupation is Laborer and Last Residence is China for all passengers bound for
Havana, City of Mexico or Salina Cruz.
The following columns had no entries:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Salina Cruz is on the Pacific coast of Mexico.
There are a number of passengers listed as Return Laborer with a "CH Permit." When the
Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882 a number of Chinese who had spent time in the
US but had returned to China at the time of the Act were excluded from returning to the
US until 1894 when the act was amended. This "CH Permit" is probably the document that
proved their status, allowing them to return.
According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is possible that they
have some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
1 Inspector is Harrison.
1,2 In the far right column, between the two entries of Affidavit Merchant,
Cabin Passenger is written. It may have been placed there to indicate
