Hawaiian Queen deposed, Jan. 17, 1893

paving the way for the Pacific island chain to become a U.S. protectorate. An article from San Francisco
published in the Jan. 30, 1893, Hamilton Daily Democrat of Hamilton, Ohio, caught readers up on events there.

provisional ministry, composed of four ministers, is sustained by the bayonets of volunteers.”
