  We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, $f_2/f_1$, and
$g_1/f_1$, within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant
parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by
using the experimental data for the masses of the baryon octet and the
decuplet. Using then the existing experimental data for the magnetic moments of
the baryon octet and the decay constants of hyperon semileptonic decays, we are
able to determine all the hyperon semileptonic decay constants $f_2/f_1$ and
$g_1/f_1$ of the baryon octet unequivocally. In addition, we also present the
results of the axial-vector transition constants from the baryon decuplet to
the octet.
