Hokow

— By a convention, signed June 20, 1895, Hokow, opposite to the Tongkingese town of Laokai, directly on the frontier, was substituted for Manhao. Szemao, in the southwestern corner of Yünnan, was opened for the trade between Yünnan and French Laos, and the common frontier was rectified in such a way as to cede to France a portion of the territory of Kianghung.
