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 inforamtion 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 appears to be a system of numbering the manifests. In this portion of
the film the numbers are not in exact order. 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.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in, in this case the dates are
all illegible) 1894 by Insp's (blank for a name, in this case 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. The National Archives should have
a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
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 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
Occupation is universally recorded as Merchant or Grocer because following the Chinese
Exclusion Act of May 6, 1882 admission was denied to all Chinese except laborers already
in the US and "students, teachers, merchants or those proceeding to the United States from
curiosity."
Occupation was omitted to save space. It is Grocer for all male passengers.
Callao is the port for Lima, Peru. Merida is on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.
1 The entry in the last column is very difficult to read. It could say teacher or Missionary.
14 Second name is probably Kum.
17 There is a barely legible note "to join her husband Kwan Yuen Ming Sun Commercial St."
26 There is a barely legible note "to join her husband Lung Wang ? Yuen Washington St."
31 There is a note "to join her husband See Lick Kuen (or Hue)."
32 There is a note "with her husband #4328." (No 28)
33 There is a note "with her father #4329." (No 29)
34 There is a note "with her father #4328." (No 28)
35 There is a note "with her father #4328." (No 28)
36 There is a note "with her mother #4330." (No 31)
37 There is a note "with her father #4329." (No 29)
63 Name could be Yinn.
