Albert S. Willis
On December 18, 1893, Willis demanded on behalf of Cleveland to dissolve the Provisional Government of Hawaii and restore the Queen to power.Willis' mission was a failure when Sanford B. Dole sent a written reply declining the surrender of his authority to the deposed queen.President Cleveland then referred the matter to Congress, which commissioned the Morgan Report, which exonerated the U.S. minister and peacekeepers from taking any part in the Hawaiian Revolution.Following the Morgan Report, Cleveland reversed his stance, rebuffed the queen's further pleas for interference, and maintained normal diplomatic relations with both the Provisional Government and its successor the Republic of Hawaii.This article incorporates public domain material from the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress Media related to Albert S.
