THE "BANCo BERGAMfNI" WILL PAY ALL DErosI-
TORS IN FULL, LAWYER BURNHAM SAYS.
The excitement In the Italian colony concerning the
refusal Of the Banco Bergamn7 to pay its deposit
ors ran at even higher pitch than over yesterday
The smoky beer halls of the Italian districts in various
quarters Of the city knew but topic Of discussion,
and the story Of the frightened dcpostors was spread
far and wide. II Progrcsso Itao Americana and
Eco D'Iialia- the two Italian newspapers of this
city, recouned the facts to those who could not read
English, and tho members OF the Bcrgaminl family
bcwa the publicity that has been given to the matter
notary public who formerly had his desk I'm the Office
sat at the cashiers window In the bank yesterday
while dozen more OF tho deposit tors stood around
outside weighing the chances, and several women with
variegated colored shawls their heads sat inside
tho bank and were duly miserable together
In their ignorance they seemed to think that by
sitting there and waiting they might get some of their
money The notary admitted that he did not know
anything about the settlement OF the banks affairs
but said that the family wanted to pay every one what
was due. He also said that he did not know when
any would i'm who could give definite infor-
nation. II tho deposltors received similar answers
the reason for their trepdaton regarding tho safety
Of their coin Is apparent. Eighteen twenty Of tho
dcpositors busy with lawyer yesterday after
noon with view to looking after their claims, and II
payment is not made the temper OF the sufferers Is
likely to mako them combine. f. A. Durham, Of
No. 100 Canalst, the lawyer who now has charge
OF the settlement of the Bergamln estate, made the
following statement yesterday
Il am sorry that the depositors are obliged to walt
for their money but 1t will be some little time before
they receive it. This cannot be avoided under the
circumstances During Mr.. Bergamnis Illness,
Teresa Bergamini, daughter, the banking business

father and she was assisted by Pietro Andreoli tho
cashier. Mrs. BcrgamIni anxious, after her hls-
band died, to go down herself and continue the bus-
ness, saying that with $25 900 she could easily run
1t. The deposltors do not want their money. They
afraid they never get 1t. That is all cable
dispatch from Rachel Bergamnl, who conducted the
Naples branch Of the bank in Italy, has been received
saying that letter has been mailed In response to the
legal notice concerning the WILL which sent to her
OF the heirs. AS as her letter arrives We
shall settle up the estate under Mrs Bergamin, as
executrx, expeditiously as possible. Tho estate
includes much personal property, large amount of
real estate, and after paying off the obligations of the
bank handsome surplus will be left for the heirs"

they left the city whether they would
accept the terms or not. The ratifi-
cation of oil adult Indians has
to be obtained in any event. The Indians
said they would let the secretary know when
