The Overthrowers (the Committee of Safety organizers of the coup) took full possession of all lands when they overthrew the Kingdom in 1893. They then gave themselves to the U.S. which accepted in 1898.
Overthrowers always have title to the land - it's called conquest (or perhaps a "change in management" in current parlance) Given that many nations (including the U.S. and Britain) recognized the sovereignty of the Republic of Hawaii in 1894, what other legal powers said otherwise?
