Several skirmishes with the commandos of Muller and Trichardt gave no very decisive result, but a piece of luck befell the British on January 25th in the capture of General Viljoen by an ambuscade cleverly arranged by Major Orr in the neighbourhood of Lydenburg.
Later on, after the arms had been laid down, Commandant Trichardt arrived with orders from the Commandant-General, and his terms were the same as those we had already laid down. Sworn before me on this 7th day of March, 1896. H. J. COSTER, State Attorney and Ex-officio J.P. We, the undersigned, Jan. Thos.
Two Boers, Trichardt and Hindon, the one a youth of twenty-two, the other a man of British birth, distinguished, or disgraced, themselves by this unsavoury work upon the Delagoa line, but with the extension of the blockhouse system the attempts became less successful.
I arranged my plans as follows: Commandant Trichardt, with two field-cornets posses of Middelburgers and one of Germiston burghers, were to attack Pan and Wonderfontein; the State Artillery would go for the coal mine; the Lydenburgers look after Dalmanutha and Machadodorp; while General Muller with the Johannesburgers and Boksburgers would devote their attention to Monument Hill.
He can only secure your lives to Pretoria, until you are handed over to Commandant-General at Pretoria. That Dr. Jameson agreed to these terms and accepted them. That thereupon by order of Dr. Jameson the arms were then also laid down. That Commandant Trichardt then appeared with the orders of the Commandant-General to himself.
