Transcriber's Notes:

The manifest calls the departure port simply "Panama."  Research indicates this 
means Panama City.

There is no captain's statement nor captain's name attached to this manifest.

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
 Whether having a ticket to final destination=yes
 By whom was passage paid?=self
 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:
The left side of the page seems to be missing so many names are not legible.
1 Sonsonate is in El Salvador.  He has been to Tacoma 9 years.  He is going 
  to join uncle at Tacoma.
2 has been to SF.  He is going to join 2 Broth & family.
3-4,7 have been crossed out; perhaps because they are not aliens.
3 Occupation is "home business."  He is going to join father, mother.
4 Occupation is "home business."  He is going to join Mother New Orleans.
6 has $150 in gold.
7 is going to join brothers & sisters.
