Note - You can use this list as an aid to reading names in the log book, but always try to transcribe the name as it is written in the log book even if that does not match this list.

Caution - some of these are best guesses!

At 2.30 all officers not on duty left the ship to attend the funeral service over the body of Lt. H.G. Ellsworth USMC, at 3.00 half masted the ship's ensign

The Morning Call (San Francisco) (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn94052989/1890-06-26/ed-1/seq-8/#) has an obituary for him which mentions that he served on the Jamestown in 1879.

This is from the book The Devil's Causeway

Then Ensign James C Gillmore Jr the book has some bio info on him and a little on the Jamestown. It seems the ship was involved in survey work and charted the Alexabder Archipelago and Glacier bay where the crew named much of the geography after themselves. Today five splits of land in Sitka Sound are known as the Gillmore Islands, and other islands glaicers, coves, straits, and islets remain apart of the Jamestown's legacy in Alaska.

I would like to add that Gillmore was thrown out of the Naval Academy for bad behavior but was reinstated because he had lots of wealthy relatives. He was promoted to Commander then in 1908 or 1909 to Captain. Gillmore retired from the navy on 1 July 1911 with the rank of Commodore and died on June 13, 1927.
