[Guest guest]

NOTE:WHEN THE HAWAIIAN MONARCHY WAS OVERTHROWN, US PRESIDENT CLEVELAND REFUSED

TO ACCEPT THE LEGALITY OF THE COUP. HE THEREFORE DECLINED TO ACCEPT HAWAII AS A

>

>To My People: Whereas, my good and great sister and fellow

>sovereign, her gracious majesty, Liliuokalani, queen of Hawai'i, has been

>wickedly and unlawfully dethroned by the machinations of Americans and

>persons of American descent in those islands, being instigated thereto by

>the devil, one John L. Stevens;

> and whereas, my well-concieved plans for the restoration of her

>sacred majesty have not had the result they deserved but her majesty is

>still defrauded of her legal rights by her refractory and rebellious

>subjects, and her position is a just cause of sympathy and alarm;

> now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United

>States, do hereby ordain and appoint the last day of April next as a day of

>solemn fasting, humiliation and prayer. Let my people humble themselves

>and repent for their injustice to me and my great and good sister, and

>pray, without distinction of color, for her speedy return to the throne and

>the discomfiture of the miserable herd of missionaries and their sons, her

>enemies and traducers.

>

> Long Live Liliuokalani, the de jure queen of Hawaii

>

>

>

>Done at our mansion in Washington this 25th day of February, 1894.
