ANNAM
The kingdom of Annam, which also includes the ancient kingdom of Tonkin conquered and annexed by King Gialong of Annam in 1802, is bounded on the east by the Gulf of Tonkin and the China Sea, on the west by Siam, Cambodia, and the Shan States, on the north by the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Kwangsi, and on the south by Cochin-China. It is under French protection. Anuam proper is a narrow strip of country between the sea and the mountains, the territory beyond which is occupied by aboriginal tribes who are practically independent. Annam is to Tonkin in native parlance as the girdle to the tunic, the latter being a broad and rich territory. Annam proper is a comparatively poor country, and is dependent for part of its rice supply upon Tonkin. The population of Annam is uncertain, but, including that of Tonkin, it may be roughly estimated at 20,000,000. The King, Thanh Thai, attained his majority in 1897. The imports of Annam in 1897 amounted to 4,719,349 francs and he exports to 2,552,919 francs.
HUE
Hué, the capital of the kingdom of Annam, is situated on a small, scarcely navigable iver named Truong Tien and called by the French the Hué river, which debouches on he coast in about lat. 16 deg. 29 min Ñ., and long. 107 deg. 38 min. E. Hué is a walled ity and has been built on lines similar to those of a fortified European town of the eventeenth century. It consists of two distinct parts-the city proper and the suburbs,
