I have just spoken to Minister Stevens' only to be told that he would not support my government against foreign arms. It seems no one is in favor of this monarchy!

I, Queen Lili`uokalani, hereby denounce my throne to avoid any conflict and loss of life, in the hopes that one day Hawaii will return to me and my people. This island's sovereignty is now dead.
