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.
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) 1895 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case O'Leary).
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)
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
The Sex column was added by the completer.
Occupation is Merchant for all San Francisco bound passengers except as noted. For all other
passengers it is Laborer.
Callao is the port for Lima, Peru. Champerico is on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. There is
a La Libertad on the coast of Ecuador and El Salvador and in the interior of Nicaragua.
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.
12 There is a note in the margin that probably says "Photo 723."
15 Second name could be Keo or Kee.
19 In place of the usual Landed stamp is written "Father Landed on 60 days bond by collectors
order Aug. 13, 1895 Laborer.
20-21 Occupation is Student.
39 Last Residence must be Crook County because there is another word, presumably the state,
after it that is obscured by the Landed stamp.
66 Occupation is Student.
69,71-72 Occupation is None.
73-75 Departed per Steamer San Juan, Panama, Aug 8, 1895.
81-82 Departed per Steamer San Juan, Panama, Aug 8, 1895.
97-126 Departed per SPRR ASug 3, 1895. This is probably Southern Pacific Railroad.
101 Third name is Woh or Wok.
139 Departed per Steamer San Juan, Panama, Aug 8, 1895.
144 Departed per Steamer San Juan, Panama, Aug 8, 1895.
