quarters today said two Dutch de-
stroyers were sunk, o third was
damaged, and two cruisers were
struck by torpedoes in a fight with
four Japanese destroyers In the
strait between Bali and Lombok
The communique acknowledged
that one OF the Japanese destroy
ers was damaged, but said she was
able to continue under her own
power.
Un broader and highly diff
ferent picture of the naval en-
gagement east of Java, Allied
Headquarters announced that
one Japanese cruiser blew up,
another was hard hit and two
destroyers were damaged badly
in heavy pounding by United
States and Dutch warships and
dive bombers.
CThe Navy Department in
Washington late Saturday said
two Japanese destroyers were
sunk in the battle)
The Japanese account said the
engagement lasted several hours
early Friday. starting with a fight
between two Japanese destroyers
and the Dutch flotilla, and ending
when two more Japanese destroyers
joined in a pursuit of the Dutch
cruisers.
A first version said the cruisers
got away, but the Imperial head
quarters statement later said hits
were scored on them, too.
Domei reported that Batavia,
capital Of Java, was attacked again
from the air, but gave no details.

offcial announcement placed Japan
ese losses in the assault on Singa-
pore at about 5000 killed and
wounded.
