We report here on multiwavelength observations of
the two new soft X-ray transients (SXTs) XTE
J1859+226 and XTE J1118+480, which we observed
with HST/RXTE/UKIRT. For XTE J1118+480 we
also used EUVE since it is located at a very high
galactic latitude and suffers from very low extinction.
The two sources exhibited very different behaviour.
XTE J1859+226 seems quite normal and therefore a
