ANNAM

The Kingdom of Annam is under French protection. It extends along the Eastern coast of the large Indo-Chinese peninsula, between Cochin-China on the South, Cam- bodge and Siam on the West, Tonkin on the North, and the China Sea on the east. It is an extensive territory bordered by a chain of granite mountains covered with forests and having well-watered and .ertile plateaux.

-

The kingdom is administered by a Privy Council whose members are nominated by the Sovereign. Each ministry has the assistance of a Council. Since the Treaty of 25th August, 1883, France has had a resident superieur at Hué. For administrative purposes Annam is divided into 19 provinces : Than-Hoa (Th H), Nghe An (Vinh), Ha Tinh (H-T), Quang-binh (Dong-Hải), Quang Tri (Q-1), Thừa Thiên (Huế), Tourane, Quang Nam (Faifo) Quang Ngai (Q-Ngai), Binh Dinh (Qui Nhon), Phu-Yen (Song Cau), Nha-Trang (Nh-1g), Darhae (Ham Me Thuet), Ninh Thuan (Phan Rang), Binh Thuan (Phan-Thiết). The agricultural land bordering on the coast is almost exclusively devoted to the culture of rice, of which two crops a year are raised. Imports consist of products for consumption such as flour, wine, liquors, rice spice, also iron manufactures, all kinds of hard wood, articles de luxe, cotton goods, &c., the annual value being about 7,250,000 francs, of which about one-fifth come from France and Indo-China. Exports comprise silk, raw and filatured, silk manufactures, and waste silk, ginned cotton, lace, cinnamon, gummed lacquer, oil d'arachides, pre- cious woods, ox hides and horns, dried and salt fish, &c.
