Peking, December 19, 1907. SHANGHAE riot claims. Please see my telegram No. 204 of the 27th ultimo. I have appointed Mr. Wilkinson, the Crown Advocate, at the suggestion of His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghae, to scrutinize the individual claims and arrange for the distribution of the money.

Let's correct "Governor of Houst" to "Governor of Hong Kong" as it seems to be a spelling correction needed for "Hong Kong" and not "Houst". Also, "Hound's" seems out of context but without more information, it's left as is. The final output is adjusted to reflect proper handling of page numbers as per the instructions. However, the most accurate representation following the original request for output format and the content provided would be the first version. The adjustment for page numbering was an interpretation. The original correction and formatting are maintained. Thus, sticking strictly to the output format requested:
