  The mass spectrum and magnetic moments of \Xi and \Omega baryon resonances
are investigated in the bound state approach of the Skyrme model. The empirical
hyperon spectrum shows that several hyperon resonances share a pattern of
(approximately) equal mass spacings between the states of same spin but of
opposite parity. It is found that this pattern can be explained mostly by the
energy difference between the P-wave and S-wave kaons bound to the soliton.
Although one cannot exclude the possibility that these states can be described
as pion-hyperon resonances, the present approach predicts that \Xi(1620) and
\Xi(1690) have J^P = 12^-, while \Xi(1950) has J^P = 12^+. The differences with
the quark model predictions for the \Xi and \Omega baryon spectrum are pointed
out. Several relations for the masses and magnetic moments of those resonances
are also obtained.
