Further Explanation:
In January 1893, Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii was overthrown when a group of Sugar businessman and Sugar Planters who were led by Sanford Ballard Dole forced her to abdicate. Queen Liliuokalani was a Hawaiian monarch. This coup was done in order to establish a new government and these Sugar planters wanted Dole as the President.

Stevens and he was already aware of this coup and he called around 300 US Marines to Hawaii for the protection of the American people who lived in Hawaii.
