The new regulations block more than $30 million in Cuban asset; in U.S. banks, prohibit unlicensed j transfer of dollars to or from Cuba, and bar unlicensed trans actions with Cuba or Cuban na tionals or transactions Involving Cuban property. In effect, the order bars Cuba from use of the U.S. banking system, for example, in transmit ting funds for purposes of sub version elsewhere in Latin Amer ica. It is aimed at such cases as the arrest of a man in Kcuador last month on charges of being a Cuban agent, who had ya.vw in U.S. currency In his possession. Because any transaction in dol lars, even through foreign banks, at some point involves a clearing operation with a U.S. bank, offi cials believe the order also will prevent Cuba from trading in U.S. currency with other coun tries. The regulations could affect Cu ban diplomatic operations in La tin American countries, where most financial transactions are based on the dollar. For example, the finances of the Cuban Em bassy in Mexico City always have been handled through U.S. hanks. The Cuban peso is unconvertible. Winston Man Faces Charge Of Forgery William V.
