Bangkok, Siam, Jan. 15.--Edward Henry Strobel, general adviser to the Government of Siam, died to-day after a long illness, in the course of which several surgical operations were performed. These operations became necessary on account of blood-poisoning due to the bite of an insect in Egypt two years ago. The death of Prof. Strobel at this time is considered a great loss to Siam.
