In the history of Hawaii nei, from the time the Royal Standard of the Monarchs began first to flutter until 10 o’clock of the morning of Wednesday, January 18, 1893, for the very first time the famous beautiful flag was lowered because of a separate power, not because of the power of the Ruler of the land. For at that hour, Queen LILIUOKALANI left the Throne, in accordance with what She agreed to in Her Declaration of Protest, Continue reading
FRAUDULENT “WILL” IS CAUSE OF ACTION
Woman Is Unmoved and Says It Will Giver Her Chance To “Tell the Real Facts”
“Princess” Theresa Wilcox Belliveau, James Kealoha and “Rev.” Sam Kamakaia were indicted on charges of forgery and conspiracy by the grand jury yesterday afternoon in connection with the “1917 will” that was offered for probate as the last will of the late Queen Liliuokalani and was declared fraudulent by Circuit Judge C. W. Ashford after he had heard confessions in open court from both Kealoha and Kamakaia. No arrests were made last night on the indictments, which are returnable in Judge William H. Heen’s division of the circuit court tomorrow.
“Princess” Theresa was unmoved by news of the indictment. She said she had been awaiting the indictment as a means to get into court and tell “the real facts in connection with the Queen’s estate.”
“It will give me a chance to testify,” she stated. Continue reading

Honolulu, Dec. 29—Perhaps because the desire of Mrs. Owana Wilcox Belliveau for the estate of Queen Liliuokalani was not fulfilled, she is now trying to fight for the estate of the Chiefess Pauahi, and is looking for a way to break the Will because of her relationship with Chiefess Pauahi. Why does she keep trying to start this kind of thing? Continue reading
The administration at Washington has the unqualified support of this magazine (The Illustrated American) in its course of conduct in the Hawaiian affair.In acknowledging the tremendous wrong committed by ex-Minister Stevens, while acting as the nation’s, representative at the Court of Queen Liliuokalani, President Cleveland and his Secretary of State have shown splendid courage and refreshing disdain of buncombe. All the facts in the case proves Stevens’ behavior while Minister at Honolulu to have been prompted by rank ignorance or complete disregard of right or decency. Stevens openly encouraged a portion of the Queen’s subjects in their preparations for rebellion and promised them every possible material assistance, the moment they furnished him with the shadow of an excuse for such a step.

The Kawaiahao Choir:—We heard that tonight, this choir will go to the grounds of Iolani Palace [not the one standing today], where they will mourn for Kaimihaku who silently passed on: Continue reading
To all citizens who have aloha for their Alii and patriots of Queen Liliuokalani, in the district of Honolulu;
Aloha to you all: Those whose names appear below are members of the Committee to invite all citizens for the YMCA [Ahahui Opiopio Imipono Karistiano] of Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili. Continue reading
The ex-Queen has evidently been playing to the gallery and has enlisted in her broken cause some hysterical women. Among these is Julie de Rytiler. This may be a pseudonym, however, for the ever present Julius. He may have changed his sex in print. For mawkish sentiment the interview cannot be beat. When an interviewer writes such stuff as this she insults the lady she is interviewing. The ex-Queen is represented as having read “Aloha Oe” to this double distilled idiot and she writes “I do not know one word of Hawaiian, and yet so feelingly and expressively did this lovely woman read these songs that I felt sure I understoods it all.” It reminds one of the old lady in one of Marryat’s novels, who spoke of the extreme comfort of that “Blessed word Mesopotamia” was to her. The interviewer must be the kind of woman that can get a great deal of comfort out of “Mesopotamia,” or “Aloha Oe.” Hysterical persons like this do harm to the person they wish to do good to and certainly take away from the dignity of the ex-Queen.

The Hawaiians are my people, and I am still their Queen. To the Hawaiians I shall always be Queen while I am alive, and after I am dead I shall still be their Queen—their dead Queen. But Hawaii is not in the hands of its people. From other countries all kinds of people have come—some wise, some foolish, some good, some very mean. They found fortunes in my county under the protection of my fathers, and then they robbed me of my throne.
