The reactions K/sup -/p..--> lambda..+ pions with hypercharge annihilation and K/sup -/p..--> lambda..p/sub slow/+X with production of a ..lambda..--antinucleon pair are investigated on the basis of the latest data on the inclusive reaction K/sup -/p..--> lambda..X at 32 GeV/c (Yu. I. Arestov et al. Preprint M-29, Institute of High Energy Physics, 1976 and paper submitted to Eighteenth International Conference on High Energy Physics, Tbilisi, July 1976). These reactions explain the appreciable fraction of the fast (in the 1.s.) ..lambda.. particles observed in experiment. The problem of production of fast baryons in meson-nucleon collisions is discussed. A multiperipheral mechanism with heavy clusters is proposed to explain the experimental data in K/sup -/p interactions at 14.3 and 32 GeV/c. Predictions are made for 70 GeV/c. A similarity between the energy dependences of the annihilation of the hypercharge, baryon charge, and leptonic ''charge'' is established.
