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 above statement of John M Dare is dated Feb 7, 1893 but someone has written Feb 6th above it.
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.
There are two complete copies of this manifest with the same number on the film, but written by
different people. Otherwise they seem to be identical. One list has the following statment at
the bottom:
I hereby ceritfy that this is a true and correct copy of the Chinese Passenger List of the SS
City of Peking arriving at the Port of San Francisco, Ca February 6th 1893
(signed) Charles Mehan W B Hamilton, Spl Dep Collector
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) 1892 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant).
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 passengers except as noted below.
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.
7-8 Occupation is Wife.
9 Occupation is none.
23 Occupation is Wife.
24 Occupation is with 52 & 53. Sex is actually boy.
26 Occupation is Wife.
29 Occupation is with his mother #58.
34 Occupation is Wife.
37 Third name is Neuie or Newie.
38 Occupation is Wife.
41-43 Occupation is none. All are noted as "Fem."
58, 68-75, 79 are bound for Havana by Rail.
