Different spelling, no initials given, and nothing on the Captain's chest suggest an 1897 Jubilee however.
Perhaps, and it is stretching it a bit, the ribbon that was suggested to be the M.C. is actually the ribbon of the Diamond Jubilee Medal. With a lot of squinting, one could convince himself that there were very thin colour stripes at the edges of the ribbon. Just as most immediately would think "MC" due to the order of wear of the ribbon, at one time - before the war (and probably not changed until new decorations/medals i.e. MC, MM were introduced) - the order of wear had been Jubilee/Coronation medals, DCM, Campaign medals and LS&GC.
