VILJOEN'S COMMANDO.
SEVEEE FIGHTING ON THE

DELAGOA LINE

BOTHA MOVING EAST

London, July 8. Further details of- the attack on the blockhouses at Bruispruit on June 26 have come to hand. Two hundred of Ben Viljoen's com mando, it appears, attempted to cross the Delagoa Bay railway northwards. One of the blockhouses fell into the hands of the enemy, but the others held out.
An explosion partly derailed an ar moured train coming to the assistance of the British, and the Boers thinking the tiain was wrecked, attempted to mjftiit. '

They encountered, at a distance of ten yards, terrific case and shot fire, and thereupon withdrew. The " Standard " states that Vil joen, with 400 men, has broken across the Delagoa Bay railway line northwards. They are now at Both asberg. Botha has returned east towards Ermelo, in the South-eastern Trans vaal.
