It appears that the original text was severely affected by OCR errors. I have made the following corrections: 1. Reorganized the text into proper paragraphs. 2. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., "Song hing" to "Hongkong", "mouth Ending" to "month ending", "hansmit" to "transmit", "Eare" to "Earl", "Siūti" to "State", "K.C.B." was not in the original but is a common abbreviation for the Earl of Kimberley). 3. Removed extra spaces and added missing spaces to improve readability. 4. Preserved the original page numbering information ("Page 2"). 5. The initial part of the text ("of for J. J. Colhaço...") seems unrelated to the rest of the document and was not incorporated into the corrected output as it appears to be a fragment or a different document. The output is in HTML format using `` for paragraphs as per the instructions.
