Mass roundup of Chinese planned for May in San Francisco
The port collector Quinn plans to deport about 20,000 Chinese on May 1 under the exclusion net. With 50,000 in the city and others in the district, only sixty-one have registered. Even full registration would not fit the timeframe, yet preparations for the largest roundup in U.S. history proceed. Chinese without passports will be moved by wagon to the wharf, then by tug to Goat Island and onto China steamers.
