Transcriber's Notes:
There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.
There is no entry in the blank for the year in the date of departure.  The 
 year is entered as 1892 in the date of arrival.  It is unlikely that this 
 is correct because records do not begin until 1893, the sheet is filmed in 
 the proper location for 1894 and identified as such in the index on the film.
 It is not uncommon for arrival dates to appear to have been written on the 
 list at a later time: such as "arrival about Apr 17."
The following columns had identical entries for all passengers and so were 
not included in the table:
 Able to Read & Write=yes 
 Seaport for Landing in the US=San Francisco 
 By whom was passage paid?=self 
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=no (except 1)
 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:

   He has been to San Francisco.  There is a note at the bottom of the page 
   "Pedro Espejo No 1 on list was raised in San Francisco traveling now for 
   Ben Samuel Wine Co."
#3 missing letter could be "T" or "I."  He has been to Merced City.  He is 
   going to join Sister, Merced City.
#1 - #3 Entries in the money column are spelled out but abbreviated here to 
   save space.
