John Salp Petition, Declaration of Intention, and Oath of Allegiance

Hello everyone :) My name is Evan Salp. I have finally found my great great grandfather, John Salp's Petition for Naturalization, Declaration of Intention, and Oath of allegiance. You can find the links to the images below.

While looking at the petition, I noticed that it says that he did go to New York. However, on the Petition, it said he came from Russia. on the declaration, it said he came from Lithuania. Was Lithuania occupied by Russia at this time?

The town name is strange also. The petition and Declaration both say he came from Ponwicz. When I searched it on Google, nothing came up. Does anyone have any information about the town name?

The Petition says that he came from Hamburg, Germany, but it says "do not know." Does anyone know how I can get the ship or manifest information?

Thanks!!! Reply ASAP
