"She (Queen) surrendered not to the provisional government, but to the United States. She surrendered not absolutely and permanently, but temporarily and conditionally until such time as the facts could be considered by the United States." (President Grover Cleveland). This quote describes the conflict of the incoming anti-imperialist president's viewpoint to promote fairness, not fear.
