than Chantaboon, which is not a protection to Cambodia or to Indo-China gewerly. In his opinión de great disolvantage of the old treaty was that it left quite vaguely defined the frontier between the Great Lake and the sea.

All that Sium cau hope to get from it, on the other hand, is the long-promised restoration of Chantaboon and a cessation of the open hostility of the French in Indo-China.

The rains still continue, and cause a good deal of discomfort. The health of Cunton is not, how ever, bad; no cases of plague have been reported, and there is little, if any epidemic disease in the city. The general verdict of the doctors is that the year has so far been romarkably healthy Ia Shameon, however, there has been a certain amount of ill-health. Several cases of typhoid fever and dysentery have been reported, and septic throats and fever cases are of frequent occurrence. This is attributed to the under-
